Description
California Giants Zinnia Mix is a great addition to any vegetable garden. This cut flower variety will attract pollinators to increase garden production, but can also be used to harvest beautiful, colorful bouquets of flowers. Zinnias are one of the easiest cut flower varieties to grow. Plants produce vibrant blooms that are 4-5″ in diameter. Zinnias have great storage potential and will keep for several weeks once cut and placed into a vase or jar. This mix contains the following colors: pink, purple, red, orange, white and yellow.
California Giants Zinnia Mix can be direct seeded or transplanted. Due to the papery texture of the seed and the oblong seed size, zinnias do not plant well with a walk-behind planter. As a result, direct-seeding must be done by hand. To direct seed, create a small furrow in the soil and scatter the zinnia seed along the furrow. Use a garden rake to lightly cover the seed and pack the planted area. Zinnias grow well when planted on double rows with drip irrigation. Lay one row of drip tape and plant on both sides of the tape to maximize garden space. Zinnias also perform well when transplanted. They grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Transplants are ready to go in the ground when plants can be easily pulled from the seed starting trays. Zinnias are very heat-tolerant and will continue to produce throughout the warm months of summer. To maximize production, prune or “dead-head” plants to promote development of new blooms.

Customer Reviews
These are always a hit at our pumpkin patch. Very good germination and wonderful color. This year i was nervous because i planted them so late, but the timing ended up perfect! And very little watering is needed.
Beautiful Photo! Thank you for the review.
These zinnias grow very well and have lots of blooms. However, it’s not much of a mix. Mostly shades of wine and pink. No white, yellow, orange, red, purple, etc.
Just planted mine yesterday.
impressed with speed or delivery & packaging. Can't wait till they bloom.
I planted these last year and they put on quite a show. They were taller than me, and bloomed all the way until frost.
A lot of zinnia seed for the price. Fast shipping.
