Zowie Yellow Flame

Zinnia Seeds

2006 AAS Winner.  Popularity has not waned for the eye-popping Zowie! Yellow Flame zinnia, which is one of those plants that draw in garden visitors from a distance, asking "What is that flower?" Dazzlingly bright bands of scarlet and neon magenta ring the central cone, radiating out to glowing orange-yellow petal tips. More petals appear and the color palette deepens as each 3-4 in. wide flower matures.  Strong and vigorous, 24-30 in. tall hybrid plants keep the flamboyant blooms coming all summer long to enjoy in the garden and in the vase, where they can last for up to 2 weeks. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators are also drawn from far and wide to Zowie! Yellow Flame zinnias.

Growing Zowie Yellow Flame Zinnia Seeds

Bee introduces how to plant

Sow zinnia seeds indoors: 4 to 7 weeks prior to your last spring frost in cell packs or flats, press into soil and lightly cover. Kept at 75°F., seedlings emerge in 3 to 10 days. Stress from transplant shock may cause double-flowering zinnias to temporarily produce single flowers. Transplant zinnia seedlings well before they become root bound, and avoid disturbing zinnia roots.

Sow zinnias seeds outdoors: in spring after all danger of frost into prepared beds in ¼ in. deep furrows, 4 to 6 seeds per foot. Cover and keep soil surface moist. Thin seedlings to 9 to 24 in. apart depending on the type of zinnia grown. Zinnia plants started from seed in midsummer put on an impressive fall display.

Grow Zinnias: Full sun. Best zinnia performance in rich, well-drained soil with regular water. Easy to grow, plants love the heat, will tolerate drought, and are resistant to deer and rabbits. Bloom is continuous over an extended summer and fall season, and the bright flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies galore!

Zinnias are among the finest of cut flowers, and mix well with other traditional flowers in a homegrown arrangement. Typical vase life is 7 days, which can be extended further with the use of flower preservatives.
