Description
This compact zinnia produces large pompoms of a chartreuse green to almond color. This variety is particularly suited to slightly shaded areas. Very beautiful flowers for fresh or dried bouquets. Heat and drought resistant, little maintenance required if the soil is well drained. Height: 55 cm. Sowing: from March to May. Flowering: from July to October.
Sow from March to May in pots or trays between 21 and 30°C, in fine seed compost. Place a few seeds per pot, cover the seeds with compost and firm down. Keep the soil cool until germination.
Germination can take between 5 and 10 days.
It is also possible to sow in open ground in May once the risk of frost has passed, after working the soil to make it soft and adding seed compost.
Sow the seeds thinly. Cover the seeds with seed compost. Firm and water lightly.
Replant zinnias in spring in May in a sunny location.
Flowering appears from July to October.
