Grow Cactus Zinnias from fresh Zinnia elegans flower seeds. Cactus Mixture will produce Aster like blooms in shades of orange, yellow, red, pink and purple. Each plant will reach a mature height of roughly 30 inches tall with blooms spanning up to 5 inches wide.


Grown as an annual flowering plant, the Zinnia will establish quickly from seeds, bloom profusely during the summer months and later die with the first frost. Cactus Mixture is greatly used as a cut flower and can be used in floral arrangements & bouquets as well.


You might be shocked to learn that Zinnias weren't always so popularly chosen to please the eye. In fact, when the Spanish first discovered the Zinnia, they named it "mal de ojos," which simply translates to "Sickness of the eye". However, over many years of breeding, the Zinnia flower has become eye candy for gardeners all over the world. It is sought after for its gorgeous double blooms, attractive foliage, and brightly colored petals.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Zinnias are native to South America, which means they will thrive in the heat and sunlight. Plant them on the edge of your garden to allow them to spread out when pinched back. The term “pinching back” simply means to snip the zinnia at a lower leaf node prior to it flowering. This will allow the plant to spend more energy in creating multiple branches, thus rewarding you with more blooms later on. As a side note, zinnias become more drought tolerant as they grow stronger.
