Description
Mr Fothergill’s Zinnia Jazz Seeds, Glitzy colours, easy to grow. Remove dead heads regularly to prolong the flowering season. Avoid overhead watering if possible, as this will help prevent disease.
Sow indoors in trays of compost. Water well and place in a greenhouse or cold frame. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm apart, when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Avoid overhead watering if possible, as this will help prevent disease. Remove dead heads regularly to prolong the flowering season.
• A half hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• Large, easy to grow flowers with masses of impact
• Dramatic as cut flowers and as border plants
