CULTIVATION
Belonging to the Daisy family, Compositae, Zinnias originated in Mexico and have become one of the most popular bedding plants world-wide. Easy and quick to flower, these cheerful annuals provide bright long-lasting color during the heat of summer. They resist disease and drought, come in almost every imaginable color and several different forms - dahlia blooms,cactus blooms, scabious bloom, double, single, tall and dwarf. Most bloom from seed in 60-80 days. They prefer a well-drained soil (but are very adaptable as to soil type) and plenty of sun, they are one of the very best summer plants available.

Zinnias can be grown directly in the garden from seed or as transplants. FOR TRANSPLANTS: Sow seed in pots or trays at a depth of 1/4 inch. Keep moist at 65F. Transplant seedlings to larger containers when they reach about 2 inches tall. Transplant outdoors when all danger of frost has past. Spacing varies according to variety (dwarf varieties from 6-12 inches apart in rows 12 -18 inches apart). DIRECT SOW: Sow seed in prepared garden space, 1 seed every 3 inches in rows 12 - 18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 1 every 6-12 inches, depending on variety. Cultivate to keep down weeds.

Zinnias make excellent bedding, border or cut flowers.

SEED SPECS: Large flowered -Average 3500 seeds per ounce: Small flowered- Average 8000 seeds per ounce
