Zinnia Queen Red Lime

Zinnia Elegans Queen Red Lime, one of my favorites! Beautiful color, especially later in the season as we head into autumn, this is a top choice for combining. 

The Zinnia Queen Red Lime has various color shades ranging from a dark smoky 'muddy' red to a burgundy-like color. They produce a mix of double flowers but there are also some single ones. So no two flowers are the same! 

How to sow zinnias?

Zinnias are easy-to-grow plants; they germinate quickly, usually within about 5 days. Ideal for the impatient among us! The ideal germination temperature is 21-24°C. You can start sowing zinnias indoors (greenhouse, cold frame, or inside) about 4 weeks before your last frost date (mid-May). Transplanting, after hardening off, can only be done once the risk of frost has passed (after mid-May). Zinnias are frost-sensitive and cannot tolerate (night) frost. 

Location for zinnias

Zinnias originate from Mexico and therefore prefer a warm, sunny spot. A location in full sun (= at least 6 hours of direct sunlight) will give you the most beautiful flowers.
