Description

Looking for a large variety of colorful Zinnia flowers? Then this is the mixture for you! Our Crazy Mixed Zinnia seed packet is comprised of 10 to 15 varieties of colorful Zinnias, which range in size and almost every color of the rainbow.

Zinnias seem to have have climbed their way to the top of almost gardeners list, as the most popular cut flower in the world. But would you believe it if we told you that at one time they were seen as the ugliest flower discovered? When the Spanish first came across the Zinnia, they named it "mal de ojos," which simply translates to "Sickness of the eye".

Zinnias make an excellent cut flower and add red, orange, yellow, green, purple, pink, white and bi-colored flowers to the garden. They are popularly used in many floral arrangements and bouquets and also go great in dried arrangements as well. The zinnias within this mixture are known to attract all sorts of beneficial insects to the garden too, such a butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees and hummingbirds.

Zinnias can range in height, but this mixture can grow to a mature height of anywhere between 24 inches and 48 inches tall.

Sowing The Seed

Zinnias are not particularly fond of being transplanted. However, if you are looking to start them indoors, it is recommended to sow them in peat pots, so that the entire pot can be transplanted later on to prevent root shock. If started outdoors, be sure to turn the soil, or throw down new soil in its place. Sow the seeds when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed, at a shallow depth of 1/4" under topsoil.

Growing Conditions

Zinnias will prefer an area of full sunlight with temperatures that exceed 60F. Although they are adaptable, it is best to use a soil that is humus rich, and fertile. Drainage is crucial, so replacing any hard, compact soil with a fresh mixture of compost is recommended. Water daily so that the soil remains moist until germination occurs.

Germination & Growth

Your Zinnias will begin to emerge in roughly 7 to 10 days after sowing. The plants will reach a mature height of about 30 to 40 inches tall and can be spaced roughly 12 inches apart from one another.
