Zinnia ‘Victorian Wedding’
Zinnia elegans
Description
This exquisite mix of petite, mostly double blooms in a highly sought-after color range of buff, pale peach, rose-pink, blush, and the occasional soft orange is a floral designer's dream. Pastel flowers are carried on tall, strong stems and look just like French macarons. Plants are incredibly free-flowering and produce more blooms than any other variety growing on the farm.
Details
Germination soil temp: 60°F–80°F
Days to germination: 3 to 5 days
Site: full sun
Plant spacing: 9 to 12 in
Pinch: when 8 to 12 in tall
Days to maturity: 75 to 85 days

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Sow seeds indoors in trays or pots 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost. Zinnias are very cold sensitive, so wait until all danger of frost has passed before planting outside. Zinnias can also be direct-seeded into the garden once weather is consistently warm.
