Thompson & Morgan Zinnia Pop Art Golden & Red 1 Packet (40 Seeds)

Zinnia Pop Art Golden & Red is an easy to sow and grow half hardy annual which will produce colourful blooms all summer long. Sun loving Zinnia plants are ideal for garden borders, patio container and window boxes where the uniquely patterned petals can be admired. Direct sow zinnia seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May once the soil has warmed. Choose a position in full sun on moist, well drained soil which has been finely raked. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 7-14 days. When zinnia seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 23cm (9") apart. Alternatively, sow indoors from March to April at a temperature of 15-25C (59-77F). After sowing, keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged and do not exclude light as this helps germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler
