Annual. Blooms summer to fall frost. 12"- 18" tall. Full sun. Persian Carpet Zinnia is a fiesta of bi-colored single and double flowers in hot spicy colors of gold, purple, red, chocolate, white, and orange.

Also called Mexican Zinnia, it is similar to common Zinnias, but it is smaller and more compact, the leaves are smaller and narrower, and it is more tolerant of heat, dry weather, and wind. Fairly drought tolerant when established, it likes a rich, deep, well-drained soil. Low-maintenance plant - but deadheading will increase blooms. If you are often tired of the cool pinks and pastels of early summer by August and September, Plant Persian Carpet this year for its nice range of warm autumnal tones that keep going until hit by a good frost. Delightful as a 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 4 - 6 weeks before average last spring frost.

SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: None. Zinnias are easy to grow from seed!
