Agave Zinnia Seed
New! Large, cactus-flowered zinnias in sunset colors.
Gorgeous blend of sunset colors and large, heavily quilled double blooms. Early flowering plants produce 4–6" densely petaled blooms in a cohesive blend of muted buff, coral, gold, peach, pink, and orange hues. For years we've admired these special colors that appear only occasionally in some of the field-grown mixes and in 2019, we began breeding Agave. Contains a very small percentage of semidouble and/or single blooms.Specs:

DAYS TO GERMINATION:
3-5 days at 80-85°F (27-29°C)SOWING:
Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling container 4 weeks before planting out. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - Sow 1/4" deep. Succession-sow/plant every 2 weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production. Very sensitive to frost.LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Sun.PLANT HEIGHT:
Varies. No support is necessary.PLANT SPACING:
9-12".HARDINESS ZONES:
