This superior strain will grow up to 45cm tall and is a very good cut flower. I don’t ever plant the seed of these in the garden until mid-November as they don’t like cold wet soils. Zinnias love the heat of summer and I can pick many bunches every week. Dense, bushy plants are covered with unique, 5cm diameter daisy-like double blooms. Profusion Double varieties are highly resistant to powdery mildew and so better for more humid regions. One of the most drought tolerant of cottage garden annuals.
When to sow: November-DecemberWhere to sow: Direct in a prepared garden bed when the weather warms up.Depth to sow: 1/2cmAspect: Full sun or as sunny a spot as possible.Soil: Prepared, well drained, fertilised soil. Add lime if soil is too acid.Spacing: Between plants: 40-50cm
Directions: Zinnias must be direct seeded into the garden. Plant 3 seeds per station when the weather warms up (mid-November here at Lambley) in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Thin to the strongest seedling when the first true leaves appear. Zinnias start to flower in January and produce well into April. They are especially good as a cut flower as well as being bright and cheerful garden subjects.
