Sowing

Indoor Sowing

Sow approximately 4 weeks before the last expected spring frost.

Sow 1 seed per cell and cover lightly with vermiculite or fine growing medium.

Maintain a temperature of approximately 21–24°C during germination. Under suitable conditions, seeds usually germinate within 3–5 days.

Zinnias grow quickly and should not be allowed to become root-bound. Transplant carefully, as unnecessary root disturbance can stress young plants.

Direct Sowing

Benary's Giant Bright Pink can also be direct-sown outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Sow approximately 5–6 mm deep.

For a continuous supply of premium cut flowers throughout summer, make succession sowings every 2–3 weeks.

Growing & Care

Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

Zinnias love warmth and are very sensitive to frost. Plant outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed.

Water deeply at the base of the plants and provide good air circulation. Avoid regularly wetting the foliage.

Pinching young plants encourages branching and increases the number of flowering stems. Regular cutting and deadheading will stimulate plants to continue producing flowers throughout the season.

Harvesting for Cut Flowers

Harvest when the flower is nearly fully open and the stem has become firm.

Use the well-known “wiggle test”: gently shake the stem approximately 20 cm below the flower. If the stem remains stiff and the flower head does not wobble excessively, it is ready to harvest.

Cut deeply into the plant to encourage the development of strong new flowering stems.

Vase life: approximately 7–10 days.

Zinnias are sensitive to cold damage and should not be stored at very low temperatures.
