History:
Zinderella Peach Zinnias are a relatively new addition to the Zinnia family, a group of plants originally native to Mexico. Zinnias have been cultivated and hybridized over the years, leading to a wide variety of colors and forms. The Zinderella series, particularly the Peach variety, stands out for its unique, eye-catching color and elegant double blooms. These qualities have quickly made it a favorite among gardeners and floral enthusiasts.
Uses:
These zinnias are highly valued for their visual appeal in gardens and as cut flowers. Their unique peach coloration adds a warm, soft touch to floral arrangements and garden landscapes. Besides their beauty, they are also excellent for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to the health of your garden ecosystem.
Growth Habit & Planting Instructions:
Zinderella Peach Zinnias exhibit an upright and bushy growth habit. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. For best results, sow seeds directly into the garden after the last frost date or start indoors 4-6 weeks earlier for earlier blooms. Plant seeds about a quarter-inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant. Regular deadheading encourages more blooms and extends the flowering season.
Adding Zinderella Peach Zinnias to your garden not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also supports local pollinators. Their ease of growth and maintenance, along with their stunning blossoms, make them a delightful choice for any gardener.
