Growing Non-GMO Queeny Lime Blush Zinnia Flower Seeds
Zinnia seeds can be directly sown outdoors in climates with an early, warm spring. They are accustomed to the long, hot summers of Mexico. They can also thrive in cooler climates but should be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost. Do not plant zinnia seeds or sprouts outdoors until daytime temperatures are at least 50 F and nighttime temperatures no longer reach below freezing. Cover the seeds with 0.25 inches of soil and water regularly. Once established, Zinnias do well in heat and drought but do not like soggy soils. Do not transplant from indoors to outdoors without first hardening them off.
They require full sun and well-draining soil. Keeping the plants well-spaced to prevent powdery mildew with good air circulation. Queeny Lime Blush Zinnias bloom all summer and will die with the first fall frost at the end of the growing season. They are persistent and may produce new blooms in some areas into November. Expect them to re-seed; however, the seeds may not survive harsh winters. If you wish to prevent re-seeding, cut the flower heads after blooming. In zones 8 and above, seeds can also be sown in autumn for delightful winter blooms. Zinnias require little to no maintenance during the blooming season.

About Queeny Lime Blush Zinnia Garden Seeds
Zinnias are safe for humans to eat in moderation but may be toxic when consumed by animals like livestock or dogs. Contact your veterinarian if you have questions or concerns.
Zinnias are native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of the American southwest. The genus Zinnia comes from Johann Gottfried Zinn, the German botanist credited with the flower's first writings before being transported to Europe in the 1750s.
These stunning blooms can be single or double. The color ombre ranges from pink on the inside to green on the outside, with lime green being the predominant color. They will bloom late into the summer and mid-fall, depending on the weather.
Zinnia flowers are considered the "king of summer annuals," and Queeny Lime Blush's dazzling assortment of large pom-pom-like bulbs are excellent for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden while having great resistance to deer grazing.
