These vibrant mix of colours, purple, pink, orange, salmon, yellow and cream, these will create a stunning display in the garden as well as the house when used as cut flowers. Drought tolerant, these will thrive in sunny positions and are also great for attracting pollinators. Will provide you with colour all summer long.Direct sow zinnia seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May once the soil has warmed. Choose a position in full sun on moist, well drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 7-14days. When zinnia seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 23cm (9") apart.Alternatively, sow indoors from March to April at a temperature of 15-25C (59-77F). After sowing, keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged and do not exclude light as this helps germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions. When zinnia plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting outdoors.Product Specifications: hardy annualHardy Position: full sunHeight: Up to 80cm (31in)Spread: Up to 30cm (12in)Supplied as Zinnia ‘Forecast’ (Zinnia Elegans) 1 packet (40 seeds)Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
