Growing Instructions from Seeds

Zinnia can be direct sown or started in seedling trays.

Sow seeds approximately:

0.5–1 cm deep

Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist until germination.

If raised in trays, transplant seedlings carefully while young.

5–10 days

For best results:

• Maintain 20–30°C

• Keep soil lightly moist

• Provide good drainage

• Avoid overwatering

• Provide strong light after germination

Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

25–35 cm / 10–14 inches between plants

for healthy branching, airflow and flower development.

Sunlight

Provide:

Full sun — preferably 6–8 hours or more of direct sunlight daily.

Watering

Water regularly while plants establish.

Once established, water deeply when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

Avoid waterlogging and keeping the foliage continuously wet.

Growth & Flowering

Zinnia Dahlia Violet Queen develops an upright, branching growth habit with multiple large dahlia-type blooms.

Flowers display rich magenta, violet and purple tones, with natural variation in shade intensity possible between individual blooms.

Regular cutting and deadheading encourages continued flowering.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the soil before planting.

Moderate feeding during active growth supports strong stems and abundant flowering.
