These dwarf blooms come in a blend of Cherry, Orange, Pink, Purple, Scarlet, White, and Yellow provide a superior color range for the garden. Growing up to 1.2 m tall, these dahlia-flowered blooms provide a dazzling spectacle of color including scarlet, yellow, orange and pink.
Plant zinnias outdoors when the weather & soil are warm, directly in the garden, they do very well if you sow them right where you want them. If you’re sowing in groups, drop 2 or 3 seeds in each shallow hole. Cover with soil & water well. Keep soil moist until germination. When the seedlings have 2 pairs of leaves, thin them out, If you carefully pull out the unwanted seedlings, you can transplant them to other parts of the garden.

Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
