Zinnia Queeny Raspberry Limeade Lime Blotch Blush
This Queeny’s blooms are fully double, very freely borne, and long-lasting in the garden or as cuts. This plant is a tall, well-branched, bushy zinnia, great for the sunny bed and outstanding in large containers. Expect it to reach 40 to 50 inches high and up to 2 feet wide, filled with flowering stems from the first hint of summer weather until the last (even if that last is in October!). Like all zinnias, it's super easy to grow, either when started indoors or direct-sown into the warm spring soil. Give it plenty of sunshine, well-drained soil, and the occasional feed to keep it blooming like crazy all summer!
The flowers measure 2½ to 3 inches wide, arising at the tips of very long, sturdy stems that make them great cuts for the vase. Most will be fully double, absolutely pompon-shaped and packed with tight rows of petals. The occasional outlier will be single, and a few will be semi-double. You may get one or two rebels who insist upon being solid maroon, with no trace of green, but the vast majority will be fully double maroon-to-lime flowers that attract butterflies, bees, and gasps of disbelief from all your friends.
How to Sow Zinnia:
Best sown indoors, 4 weeks before last frost, at a temperature of 70-75°
Germination: 5-7 days
Sow outdoors, after all danger of frost is past in the spring. (When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4x the width of the seed.)
How to Grow Zinnia:
Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves
Spacing: Space 6-12 inches apart in a rich, fertile, well-drained soil
Temperature: Grow on in full sun at 60-65° days/55-60° nights
