The Mixed Colors Small Zinnia Flower Seeds produce stunning zinnias in a variety of hues, including pink, orange, yellow, and red. The compact size of these zinnias makes them perfect for small garden spaces or container gardens.
Highlights:
- Product Type: Bonsai
- Quantity: 100 seeds
- Use: Indoor Plants
- Style: Perennial
- Full-bloom Period: Spring
- Variety: Scindapsus Aureus
- Soil requirements: Zinnias prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Zinnias thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They can tolerate partial shade but may not bloom as profusely.
- Watering requirements: Zinnias need moderate watering. Water the plants deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant zinnia seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. They can also be planted in early summer for a later bloom.
- Depth and spacing: Plant zinnia seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch. Space the seeds about 6 to 12 inches apart, depending on the variety, to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Zinnia seeds typically germinate within 5 to 10 days under optimal conditions. Ensure the soil temperature is between 70°F and 75°F for best results.
- Maturity time: Zinnias usually reach maturity and begin to bloom within 60 to 70 days after planting. The exact time may vary depending on the specific variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest zinnias is in the early morning when the flowers are fully open and the stems are firm. This helps to ensure the longest vase life for cut flowers.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems at an angle. Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline in a vase. For continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers regularly. Store harvested flowers in a cool, shaded area and place them in water immediately.
