Zinnia elegans
Often referred to as a mini pompon zinnia, this adorable bloomer produces an abundance of petite, fully double, dome-shaped salmon flowers all summer long. Easy to grow and great for beginners, this little gem thrives in the heat and is perfect for flower arranging, especially in hand tied bouquets. As a “cut and come again” flower, the more you harvest, the more they bloom.

How to Grow
Start seed indoors in trays 4-6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Zinnias can also be direct seeded once weather has warmed.

Harvesting/Vase Life
Grab the stem about 8” down from the flower and gently shake the stem. If the stem is droopy or bends much at all, it is not quite ready to cut. If the stem is stiff and remains erect, it is ready to harvest. If floral preservative is added to the water, zinnias should last 7-10 days in the vase.
