• Harvest: by giving the flower stem a wiggle, if the stem bends or droops it is not ready.  The stem needs to be stiff before cutting.  
  

Approx. 25 seeds per pack

Seed Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors into a 72 cell flat, 4 weeks before last frost.  Keep soil moist until seed emerges. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.  Can be direct seeded once the weather has warmed up.  

Cut Flower:

Zinnias are a prolific flower, giving you loads of blooms through out their season.  A few things to remember when harvesting, give the stem a wiggle test, only cutting if the stem remains stiff.  Also zinnias are heat loving flowers and do not like to be put into a cooler.
