Growing facts

  • Botanical name: Zinnia elegans
  • Maturity or display: 54-70 days to flowering
  • Mature size: 20-24 in. tall; compact plants with small pompom flowers
  • Spacing: 12 in between plants; rows 24 in

About the variety

Lilliput is a small-flowered garden selection of Zinnia elegans, a species native to Mexico and Central America. Its compact growth and rounded, double blooms have made this flower form a familiar part of traditional summer gardens.

Starting seed

Sow 1/4 in. deep after frost in soil near 70 F. Sprouts in 7-10 days. Thin to 12 in.; rows 24 in. Use full sun and drained soil; water at the roots.

Care through the season

Keep moisture even while plants establish, then water deeply when the soil starts to dry. Avoid crowding and wet foliage. Pinch young plants if a bushier form is desired, and cut or deadhead regularly to encourage further bloom.

Harvest and use

Flowers in about 54-70 days. Cut fully open blooms on firm stems; remove faded heads. For seed, let selected heads dry on healthy plants; isolate varieties.

Saving seed

Zinnias are insect-pollinated and varieties can cross. Isolate selected plants or control pollination when preserving a particular flower form. Let several healthy flower heads turn dry and brown on the plant, then separate and dry the mature seeds. Offspring from a color mixture will vary.

Common problems

Powdery mildew and leaf spots are common in humid weather. Give plants adequate spacing, water at soil level and remove badly affected foliage. Start with healthy plants and rotate planting locations if disease recurs.
