Annual. Blooms summer to fall frost. Height: 2' - 3' tall. Full sun.
Flowers as tantalizing as their namesake candy. 3" - 5" striped and blotched blooms in vibrant shades of scarlet, carmine, vermilion, orange, and rosy-purple on cream and dark yellow. No two flowers are the same! When 'Peppermint Stick' Zinnias started blooming in our test gardens, our neighbors said, "Wow!" Dramatic, 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 don't benefit from being planted early. Sow outside after weather is warm or start inside.)
INSIDE: Sow 6 weeks before average last spring frost.
SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: None. Zinnias are easy to grow from seed!
