This vibrant zinnia mix includes a diverse balance of colors including red, orange, pink, yellow, salmon, magenta, and two-tone combinations. Flowers are 4-5" double and semi-double blooms in dahlia and cactus flower forms. Zinnias make fun garden flowers as well as brightening up your home as cut flowers.

This zinnia mix was created by the late Oregon State vegetable breeder Jim Baggett and has been curated by Wild Garden Seed. With a plant height of 28-38" and a cut-and-come-again variety, this mix yields multiple cuts over the season.

75-85 days to maturity.

Zinnias can be direct seeded or transplanted. If transplanting, sow seeds in containers ¼” deep in late April, and transplant outside after 5/21 with 9-12” spacing. Alternatively, direct sow outside after 5/21, ¼” deep, about 2” apart. After first true leaves appear, thin plants to 9-12” spacing.

For best cut flowers, harvest before flowers are completely open. Deadheading will increase number of blooms.

Wait for seed head to dry completely on the plant, it will be brown. Harvest seed heads into paper bag, dry further inside, then rub to release seeds.
