Peruvian Zinnia Seeds

(24-36″ tall) Versatile Peruvian Zinnias are at home in cottagegardens, as a mass planting, and among meadow flowers. An easy-care annual wildflowerthat will bloom all summer, it produces an abundance of red, nectar-richflowers that attract butterflies and bees. The 1-1/2″ diameter bloomsperch on tall stems, making them delightful as cut flowers, too. PeruvianZinnia is native to the Southwest US; it prefers full sun and, onceestablished, tolerates dry soils, though it adapts to most soil types. Directsow seeds in the garden after all danger of frost is past, or get a head startby sowing seeds indoors about a month before your last spring frost date. Ifyou allow some flowers to mature and form seedpods, the seeds may self-sow and,in mild climates, create a naturalized planting that will return every year.
