Growing Non-GMO Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia Flower Seeds
Zinnias can be started indoors 1 month before the last frost for the earliest blooms. Transplant to a container or flower bed once two sets of true leaves have been established. Otherwise, sow them directly in the garden bed or field after the last frost of the spring, when the soil has warmed to about 70 F. Cover the seeds lightly and soak the top inch of the soil with a mister. Whether indoor or out, seeds germinate best at 70-80 F. Established zinnias thrive in drought but may require a bit of extra water just to help them get started; ensure the soil and seedlings dry out between irrigations; zinnias do not do well in very wet soils and thrive in more arid circumstances.
Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnias bloom all summer and will die at the first frost at the end of the growing season. They are very persistent and may produce new blooms into December in some areas where the frost has not occurred yet. 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 and pull out the entire plant before the seeds start to develop. In zones 8 and above, seeds can also be sown in autumn for delightful winter blooms.
Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia in the Flower Garden
Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia flower seeds will excite your garden with larger, fuller, and brighter bulbs than other zinnias this season. Pop Art Golden & Red zinnias steal the show with spectacular 3-4 inch blooms perfect for any fresh cut basket, bouquet, or simply attracting butterflies to the garden. They also perform exceptionally well in containers and pots for porch and patio styling!
Harvesting Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia
Harvest these blooms for cut flower bouquets, centerpiece arrangements, and eye-catching bud vases. Make a clean cut at the base of the flowering stalk and store it in cool water.
The petals of the zinnias are also edible! Pluck the petals when in bloom and use them as garnishes on numerous dishes; they are said to have a mild yet bitter taste.
About Pop Art Golden & Red 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.
Zinnias are native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of the American southwest and are deer resistant.
The Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia is a hybrid flower named for its striking similarity to artwork from the Pop Art Movement that emerged during the 1950s. The lawless, yet complex and beautiful patterns of the red on gold most notably resemble the work of early Pop Art pioneer Jackson Pollock and his notorious "drip paintings." The Pop Art Golden & Red Zinnia is a winner of the 2011 Fleuroselect Novelty Award.
