Introducing the newest addition to the Park's Picks family, perfect for your cutting garden or patio pot: Park's Picks Lime Zinnia. This tender annual blooms all summer long, showcasing huge lime green fully double flowers that are simply breathtaking.
Borne singly on long, sturdy stems, these nectar- and pollen-rich flowers are a magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Not only do these dramatic dahlia-like blooms add a pop of color to your garden, but they also make stunning, long-lasting cuts for bouquets.
Tall and thick-stemmed, Park's Picks Lime Zinnia boasts a fast growth rate and an upright, mounding habit of lanceolate leaves. A classic garden favorite, zinnias are best showcased when grouped or massed in beds, borders, and patio pots.
Extremely easy to grow from seed, these green zinnias prefer sunny locations protected from strong winds with rich, organic, well-draining loam or soil raked to a fine tilth, having an acidic pH of 5.8 to 6.2. While zinnias are low maintenance, pinching young plants promotes a more compact, bushier plant, and deadheading spent flowers keeps zinnias blooming.
For optimal results, direct sow zinnia seeds after the last frost date or start seeds indoors and transplant seedlings carefully once all threat of frost has passed. Succession planting every week or so for several weeks extends the flowering period, ensuring a continuous display of vibrant blooms.
