Planting Tip |
Direct seed or plant in germination trays. I have found direct seeding is the most succesfull. Keep wet till germinated. |
|
Pinch |
When plants are about 20cm - 30 cm tall, take sharp pruners or your fingers and snip the top off just above where two leaves should emerge. I always say look for a V shape, then cut above that V. |

Uses |
Excellent cut flowers. The more you cut the more blooms you get. |
|
Netting |
In my opinion nets are needed for straight stems. |
|
Harvesting Tips |
To tell whether a Zinnia is ready to harvest, use the “wiggle test.” Cut low into your Zenia above the V for it to produce long stems. You will sacrifice some buds but the more you cut the more it blooms. |
