Violet Queen Zinnias, known scientifically as Zinnia elegans, captivate with their vibrant magenta blooms. These flowers are part of the Zinnia family, renowned for their bright colors and easy cultivation. Violet Queen stands out with its rich, deep hue, offering a striking contrast in gardens.


Originating from Mexico, Zinnias, including the Violet Queen variety, have a history intertwined with ancient civilizations. Aztecs grew them for medicinal purposes, and over time, they've become beloved ornamental plants worldwide. Today, Violet Queen Zinnias are popular for their ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, enhancing garden biodiversity. Their bold color also makes them a favorite for cut flower arrangements, bringing a touch of bright, cheerful beauty indoors.

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.
