Zinnias are our favorite cut flower variety for sure because they come in the most amazing color schemes and they are the number one most heat tolerant non-tropical looking cut flower on the market. Even though you might not think you need or want cut flowers in your garden you can squeeze a few of these in-between your veggies or on the edges of your bed and you’ll be so glad you did when they start to pop with ornate colors. To make your zinnia plant more robust "pinch" its growing tip once its about 12 inches tall. Pinching is just a floral term for cutting the main stem, which encourages branching.
This zinnia is an insanely beautiful electric coral large headed flower. Zinnias also tolerate our humid and intensely hot summer weather, which is absolutely crazy!

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
