CACTUS FLOWERED ZINNIAS
Like
all Zinnias, Cactus Flowered Zinnias are very easy to grow and make great
cut flowers. Large feathery petal blooms 3-4" across instead of flat or
rounded as with the pompon flower blossoms.
Very showy, 2-3 feet tall! These plants love the sun. Zinnias are excellent as cut flowers, their rigid stems hold long-lasting blossoms that don't drop petals.
A natural for the butterfly garden, attracting many butterflies throughout their long blooming season. Kids find zinnias quick to germinate and easy to grow.
Can be directly sown after danger of frost; germinates in 7-10 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Choose a well-drained garden location that receives at least 6-8 hours of full sun each day. Loosen soil to a depth of 12 inches and rake smooth. Plant seeds after the ground has warmed and danger of frost has passed. Firm the soil over the seeds and keep moist until seedlings appear. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin to stand 10-12 inches apart. Water the garden in dry weather making sure it receives at least 1 inch of rain or water per week. Prefers a well drained soil. Cultivate regularly to control weeds.
Each package contains at least 25+ seeds.
