Zinnias are best sown April-May under cover in modules to avoid root disturbance. Harden off before planting out after the frosts. Pinch out tips as you plant. Direct sow late May-June, zinnias hate cold nights.

Description

My favourite late summer and autumn combination of flowers and colours in a large pot and cut flower borders. I adore the muted, faded tapestry of this mix.

Care Tips

Water once a week and stake plants individually. Tidy up any dead or dying leaves and ensure good air circulation to avoid botrytis. Picking or deadheading is necessary to prolong blooming and encourage branching.
