State Fair Zinnias, known scientifically as Zinnia elegans, are celebrated for their vibrant colors and robust blooms. These annuals are characterized by large, double-flowered heads that can grow up to 5 inches across, available in a spectrum of colors from fiery reds to soft pastels. Their sturdy stems make them excellent for both garden displays and cut flower arrangements.


Originating from Mexico, State Fair Zinnias were named for their impressive showiness, reminiscent of prize-winning exhibits at state fairs. These zinnias were first introduced to European gardens in the 18th century, quickly becoming favorites due to their easy cultivation and long bloom period. Today, they're widely used in landscapes for their ability to attract pollinators and add a bold splash of color to any setting.

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.
