Jazzy Mix Zinnia Seed

Item #HSC-ZIN-027-PKT

Small, bright zinnias in earthy tones for bouquets and borders.

Jazzy Mix is a Mexican zinnia (Zinnia haageana) with 1–2" double and semi-double blooms in burgundy-red, red, yellow and orange, many tipped in cream, red or yellow.

Plants stay compact but produce heavily, and the more you cut, the more they bloom. Great for small bouquets, edging and containers, and a magnet for pollinators.

Plants grow 20–26" tall and bloom about 75–85 days from sowing.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start indoors

Sow in 72-cell trays about 4 weeks before planting out and cover the seed; 80–85°F gives sprouts in 3–5 days. Do not let roots get pot-bound.

Plant out

After frost, in full sun, 9–12" apart in fertile soil with pH 6.3–6.8.

Pinch and succession

Pinch the first bud for branching and sow or plant every 2 weeks for a steady supply of stems.

Harvest

Cut before blooms open fully, when the stem is firm right up to the flower. Expect 7–10 days in the vase.

Growing Information

Days to germination

3–5 days at 80–85°F (27–29°C); slower, about 5–7 days, at 70–75°F (21–24°C).

Starting indoors (preferred)

Sow into 72-cell trays or similar containers about 4 weeks before planting out, and cover the seed. A heat mat makes it easy to hold the right temperature. Plant out before the roots fill the cell and handle them gently: stress from transplanting can make double-flowered zinnias produce single blooms for a while.

Direct sowing

Sow 1/4" deep once frost danger has passed; zinnias are very frost-tender.

Succession and pinching

Sow or plant every 2 weeks for a long run of top-quality stems. Pinch out the first bud or bloom, then keep deadheading to encourage branching and more flowers.

Light

Full sun.

Height and support

Height varies by variety; staking is not needed.

Plant spacing

9–12".

Hardiness

Grown as an annual.

Soil

Fertile soil rich in organic matter, ideally pH 6.3–6.8.

Harvest

Cut before the bloom is fully open, once the stem feels firm from the cut right up to just below the flower head.

Vase life

7–10 days.

Cooler storage

40–50°F (4–10°C). Colder storage damages zinnias.

Uses

Tall varieties are excellent for cutting; also good for beds, borders and mass plantings.
