A true kaleidoscope of colour that everyone needs in their garden. With this simply eye-catching Zinnia the bloom tips are nearly always a different contrasting colour to its base hue giving a simply transfixing affect - Never a dull day with these in the flower borders! Excellent cut flowers lasting 7-10 days easily. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers throughout the season.
CULTURE –Ideally direct sow Apr-May well after the last frost. Sow 3mm deep in pockets 30cm apart. Or sow undercover March-April in warm soil (15°c-25°c). where germination usually takes 1-2 weeks, then transfer to final growing position at 30cm (12”) spacings. Requires very little attention but will require staking & a small period of regular watering to whilst new plants get established. Flowers June-October. Adores heat.
