Orange King Zinnias are vibrant with their rich orange petals, offering a sunny disposition to any garden. They belong to Zinnia elegans, a species known for its large, showy flowers that can reach up to 5 inches in diameter. These annuals are hardy, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, making them a favorite for summer gardens.


Originating from Mexico, Zinnias, including the Orange King, were named after Johann Gottfried Zinn, an 18th-century German botanist. They've been cultivated since the 1700s in Europe and are celebrated for their ease of growth and vibrant colors. Today, Orange King Zinnias are used to attract pollinators, brighten borders, and as cut flowers, bringing long-lasting color to bouquets. Their bold hues make them a staple in cottage and traditional gardens alike.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Zinnias are native to South America, which means they will thrive in the heat and sunlight. Plant them on the edge of your garden to allow them to spread out when pinched back. The term “pinching back” simply means to snip the zinnia at a lower leaf node prior to it flowering. This will allow the plant to spend more energy in creating multiple branches, thus rewarding you with more blooms later on. As a side note, zinnias become more drought tolerant as they grow stronger.
