HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in spring; this seed germinates best in warm soil. Plant just below the surface and keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-10 days. Seedlings do not transplant well.

Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, but do not over water. Though they flourish with occasional watering in dry weather, mature plants tolerate some drought. This plant grows best in rich soil, and may need light fertilization for best blooming. Pinch off the growing stems to encourage bushiness, and deadhead to prolong blooming. This plant attracts butterflies and bees.

Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.

Seed Saving: After their petals drop off, the centers of the flowers will darken and develop tight clusters of seed at the base. As soon as the seed heads have turned dark brown, remove them and spread them out to dry for several days. Thresh the dried heads to separate the small, arrow-shaped seeds from the chaff. Store the cleaned seed in a cool, dry place.

About my seed orders

The seeds arrive in excellent packaging very quickly. But I can't plant them for some time. If Everwilde Farms asks for a fall review of the flowers I'll be happy to let you know how they did. Thanks for the quick service.

Dahlia

Sowed seeds this spring and had great germination rate. Flowers are now here. However, they are not dahlia in looks. Instead they only have a single layer of petals. Still pretty but not as advertsied and not what I was looking for when I plant my zinnias each year. I will be going back to the place I previously purchased from - a little more expensive but the seeds are "true" and thus, superior.

Beautiful

I sowed this mix last year and absolutely loved the flowers. I had butterflies, bees, and humming birds. My neighbors loved the color and it was nice having cut fresh flowers. It was so easy. I just tilled my spot, sowed the seed, lightly covered the seed area with miracle grow garden soil, watered, and said a pray.

DESCRIPTION

These bright flowers come in a splendid array of colors and are shaped like Dahlias. This easy-to-grow annual blooms all summer long, and catches the attention of wandering butterflies.
The first botanical records of this plant come from the notes of Spanish botanists Mocino and Sesse, who discovered the species growing in the wilds of southern Mexico in 1789. The common name "zinnia" honors German botanist and professor Johann Gottfried Zinn, who was among the first to grow this species after it was discovered. Zinnias signify thoughts of an absent friend in the Victorian language of flowers.

HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in spring; this seed germinates best in warm soil. Plant just below the surface and keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-10 days. Seedlings do not transplant well.

Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, but do not over water. Though they flourish with occasional watering in dry weather, mature plants tolerate some drought. This plant grows best in rich soil, and may need light fertilization for best blooming. Pinch off the growing stems to encourage bushiness, and deadhead to prolong blooming.
