Oh Canada Zinnia Blend

Product Details

Oh, Canada! Celebrate this great confederation with this fun and patriotic blend of zinnias, as red as the maple leaf, and as white as the driven snow. Oh Canada zinnia blend is an easy-to-grow annual that will fill in summer borders with eye-catching colour. Zinnias are among the best cut flowers, too, so bring some of the pride indoors for an attractive two-tone look. They won't be in bloom for Canada Day, but keep them deadheaded and they will bloom all summer long. Direct sow in late spring for best results.

Timing

Timing
Direct sow after last frost. Zinnias don’t transplant well, but can be started indoors, if necessary, in peat or coir pots, 6-8 weeks before planting out. Maintain a soil temperature of 21-26°C (70-80°F). Seeds should germinate in 5-24 days.

Starting

Starting
Just cover Zinnia seeds, and aim for a final spacing of 25-30cm (10-12″) between plants.

Growing

Growing
Depending on the variety, it takes about two months after sowing for the first flowers to appear. Take regular cuttings of Zinnia stems to enjoy indoors, starting mid-summer right into the fall. Cutting encourages the production of new flowers and seems to stimulate the plants for greater vigour. Watch for signs of powdery mildew on the leaves, usually in late summer. Try to avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew.
