Easy to Grow and Attractive to Pollinators

Zinnias are known for being easy to grow, and this mix is no exception. They thrive in warm, sunny locations and prefer well-drained soil. These annuals are also attractive to beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding life and vibrancy to your garden ecosystem.

Long-Lasting Beauty Indoors and Out

The sturdy petals and strong stems of Zinnia California Giants Mix ensure that the blooms last a long time both in the garden and in a vase. Enjoy their vibrant colors outdoors from summer well into fall. With a typical vase life of around 7 days (which can be extended with flower preservatives), your homegrown bouquets will bring lasting beauty indoors.

Growing Instructions:

Direct sow after the last frost, once the soil has warmed. Zinnias don’t transplant well, but can be started indoors in peat or coir pots, 6-8 weeks before planting out. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-80°F (21-26°C). Seeds should germinate in 5-24 days. Space plants 10-12 inches apart.
