zinnia - zinderella lilac

$3.50

(Zinnia elegans) We love the “scabiosa” or “cupcake” type zinnias with their poofy doubled centers. Zinderella lilac brings soft lavender-pink color with dark centers to the playful form for bright summer arrangements. Full, branching plants stand 3-4’ with long, strong stems for cutting. Similar to sister, Zinderella Peach, expect single, double and fully double flowers. Do take gentle care of roots while young and when transplanting as shock may lead to more single blooms than you want. Don't be afraid to pinch back to encourage strong and profuse stems and deadhead to encourage more flowers.

Specs:

  • Plant Height: 24–30"

  • 2.5” pot

SPACING:

9-12" in rows 12-18" apart.

LIGHT:

Full sun to part shade

FERTILITY:

Medium. Tolerant to most soil types but prefers rich, evenly moist soil with a pH between 6.0-7.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

While not absolutely necessary, you may stake or provide netting to keep them upright and tidy. 

Be gentle with the roots when transplanting to avoid stress that can cause more single (as opposed to doubled) flowers.

To encourage branching, pinch back when 12" and remove initial bud.

Zinnias appreciate some cooler time and/or shade.

Continue to cut and deadhead and the plant will be wildly floriferous!

Stiff cut stems have a 7+ day vase life.
