Annual. Easily grown in humusy, evenly moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Sow seed directly in the ground after last frost date or start seed indoors 4-6 weeks earlier. Some varieties are widely available in cell/six packs from nurseries. Set out plants after last frost date. Good drought tolerance. These plants do not fade in summer as is sometimes the case with common zinnia (Z. elegans). Deadheading is not required.
This small flowered zinnia features single, daisy-like blooms on bushy, spreading, narrow-leaved, 8-12 inch tall plants. They flower non-stop until frost and are ideal selections for hot and humid summer climates. Exceptional disease resistance. Flower color ranges from white to yellow, orange and gold. Excellent for bedding, edging and containers.
No serious insect or disease problems. Excellent disease resistance to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spots.
Edging. Bedding. Containers.
