Zinnia 'Queeny Lemon Peach'

These zinnias have a rosy center disk contrasts beautifully with creamy-lime petals which gradually darken to soft peach outer petals. Plants seem a bit more vigorous than the other Queen Series varieties. A mix of fully double, semi-double, and a small percentage of single flowers. This colour range looks wonderful in bouquets. As cut flowers they are long lasting and luxuriant, and in the garden they are abuzz with bumble bees. The plants respond well to cutting, with more flowers forming all the time. The bloom period is from mid-summer right into September.

HOW TO GROW:
Indoors (recommended) - Sow into seedling container 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination. Harden-off and transplant out after last frost. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - After last frost. Succession-sow/plant every two weeks for prolonged yields. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
