Lilliput Zinnias, part of the Zinnia elegans species, are prized for their compact size and vibrant, mixed colors. These shorter Zinnias typically grow to about 18 to 24” inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, or as bedding plants. Their flowers, which can range from bright yellows and oranges to pinks and reds, offer a burst of color in small spaces.


Originally bred for their manageable size, Lilliput Zinnias became popular in the 20th century for garden enthusiasts seeking low-maintenance, colorful blooms. They attract pollinators like butterflies and are often used in children's gardens or urban gardening due to their easy growth and cheerful appearance. Additionally, their cut flowers are durable, lasting well in vases, making them a favorite for floral arrangements.

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.
