Zinnia elegans, or Zinnia, are a hardy annual that grows quickly and blooms heavily all summer long. They are one of the easiest annuals to grow from seed. This Lilliput variety features pom-pom like, double blooms that are a brilliant shade of yellow.
These zinnias are 20 - 24 inch annuals growing in USDA zones 3 - 10.
Zinnia Lilliput are great for summer flower borders and give lots of eye-catching color. Deadhead Zinnia for the greatest amount of blooms. Hummingbirds enjoy Zinnia and butterflies too.
Deer typically do not like to eat zinnias. For the earliest blooms, start the seed indoors 4 – 6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 4 seeds per plant. Press the seed into the soil, lightly cover it and keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 75F, germination is usually in 21 days. Transplant the young plants outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Or, for areas with a long growing season, after frost danger has passed, directly sow Zinnia seed outdoors in prepared seedbeds. Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 12 inches apart.
