HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in spring; this Zinnia Linearis seed germinates best in warm soil. Plant just below the surface and keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-10 days. Seedlings do not transplant well.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, but do not over water. Though they flourish with occasional watering in dry weather, mature plants tolerate some drought. This plant grows best in rich soil, and may need light fertilization for best blooming. Pinch off the growing stems to encourage bushiness, and deadhead to prolong blooming. This plant attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After their petals drop off, the centers of the flowers will darken and develop tight clusters of Zinnia Linearis seed at the base. As soon as the seed heads have turned dark brown, remove them and spread them out to dry for several days. Thresh the dried heads to separate the small, arrow-shaped seeds from the chaff. Store the cleaned classic Zinnia seed in a cool, dry place.

Should do well
Just planted these in a 24x24ft 4inch compost this area I made specifically for these flowers for my bees. They should sprout soon. I'm happy with the variety of different zinnias from looking at the seeds. Thanks!
Love this plant
Pest and disease resistant. Constant blooming throughout the hottest of summer days. Sturdy and reliable. Makes me look like I know what I am doing!
recent order

Everwilde Seeds
I've been purchasing seeds from Everwilde for quite a few years. 1st on eBay but thus year straight from their website. Quick delivery and the reason I keep coming back is that their seeds reliably boom well for me every year. They sell in bulk, and I plant in bulk. You can't beat the prices and the packaging is outstanding, I have used left over seed kept in these packages a year and even two years after I purchased them and they reliably grew and bloomed. Highly recommend this seed company for any serious gardener.
