Zinnia Persian Carpet - seed

Zinnia elegans 'Persian Carpet' - seed

DESCRIPTION: Compact zinnia with large fully double bright flowers in patterned shades of gold, orange, tan and chocolate that attract pollinating insects and are valued as cut flowers.
PLANTING: Plant around 24C - Spring/Summer in most parts of Australia, Autumn and Winter for hotter locations, check the seed pack for more detailed info. Sow seeds directly into their final position, scattered or in formal rows, cover with a light layer of soil and keep moist. Thin seedlings if they become crowded & replant elsewhere in the garden. Plant in free draining soil in a full sun location for best flowering. Preparing garden beds with well composted manure will give the best results.
CARE: Water seedlings regularly until established and continue to provide water especially during dry spells. Mulch plants to keep the shallow roots cool in summer. For an extra long flowering season, remove spent blooms often and feed with liquid fertiliser
