Annual. Blooms summer to fall frost. 2' - 3' tall. Full sun. Large 4" - 6" flowers in an almost limitless range of colors including white, pink, salmon, rose, red, yellow, orange, lavender, and purple.
The colors of California Giants last a long time before fading. You will have trouble deciding whether to leave these brilliant flowers outdoors for your neighbors to enjoy or cut as many of them as you can for floral displays in your house! Drought tolerant and excellent massed in flowerbeds or in containers. Very easy to grow. For long hot summers, nothing beats Zinnias for brilliant color and a long blooming period. Susceptible to mildew in humid climates. In all climates, it is preferable to water by soaking the ground (not from overhead) to keep leaves dry. Making sure that sprinklers do not hit them overnight or in the early morning will help prevent mildew. Low-maintenance plant - but deadheading will increase blooms. Some gardeners recommend that tall flowering varieties be topped when young plants have produced 3 pairs of leaves. This will encourage basal branching and bushy plants. Delightful as a fresh or dried cut flower. Attracts butterflies!
OUTDOORS: Sow in late spring 2 weeks after average last frost date. (Zinnias do not benefit from being planted early. Sow outside after weather is warm.)
INSIDE: Sow 6 weeks before average last spring frost. However, they do not transplant well. Best to start outside.
SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: None. Zinnias are easy to grow from seed!
