Flower Zinnia Mixed Color Classic is a time-honored heirloom blend selected for compact growth, heat tolerance, and reliable performance across a wide range of conditions. Low-growing plants are ideal for edging, ground cover, and xeriscape gardens where water conservation matters. Expect an abundance of 1.5 inch blooms in a warm palette of gold, orange, white, and yellow — cohesive color from a single planting. Once established these plants shrug off drought and heat, thriving in arid climates and full sun where many ornamentals struggle. The compact habit suits containers, raised beds, and small spaces, and it flowers prolifically without staking or support. Butterflies and beneficial insects work the blooms all season long.

Germination Rate: 77%. Test Date: 11/24. AWSC.

Why Choose Classic Zinnia Mix?

• Compact Habit: Low-growing plants that never need staking — perfect for edging, borders, and small spaces.
• Warm Color Palette: Gold, orange, white, and yellow blooms that read as one cohesive planting rather than a jumble.
• Drought Tolerant: Once established, thrives on very little water — an excellent xeriscape and water-wise choice.
• Heat Resilient: Keeps flowering through hot, dry summers that stall other annuals.
• Prolific Bloomer: Masses of 1.5 inch flowers cover the plants from summer until frost.
• Pollinator Magnet: Draws butterflies and beneficial insects that support the whole garden.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down for generations — save your own seed year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to 70°F. In Texas and warm climates, sow again in late summer for fall color.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 to 8 hours per day for the heaviest bloom.
• Soil: Well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–7.0. Classic zinnias tolerate lean, average soil without complaint.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep. Zinnias resent transplanting, so direct sowing works best.
• Spacing: Thin to 8 to 10 inches apart for good airflow and to reduce powdery mildew risk.
• Watering: Water at the base and let the soil dry slightly between waterings once established. Keep water off the foliage.
• Fertilizing: Feed lightly at planting. Too much nitrogen gives you leaves instead of flowers.
• Deadheading: Shear lightly after the first flush to trigger a fresh wave of bloom.
• Succession Planting: Sow a short row every two to three weeks for continuous color into fall.
