Nutritional Information
While primarily ornamental, these flowers significantly contribute to the health of your garden ecosystem. They are powerful pollinator attractors (bees, butterflies), which is vital for setting fruit on nearby vegetable crops. They also attract beneficial predatory insects that help naturally control common garden pests, reducing the need for chemical intervention.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
These flowers are generally easy to grow and thrive in similar conditions, making them ideal companions.
-
Sow Outdoors: All varieties can be direct-sown after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
-
Sow Indoors (Optional): Start Zinnia and Cosmos indoors 4 to 6 weeks early for the earliest possible blooms.
-
Planting: Plant the taller varieties (Cosmos, Zinnia) toward the centre or back of the bed, with the shorter varieties (Statice, Dwarf Sunflower) interplanted near the front.
-
Spacing: Follow individual spacing recommendations to ensure good air circulation. As a collection, space plants 20 cm to 45 cm apart depending on mature size.
-
Full Sun is essential for heavy flowering. Provide average, well-drained soil.
Symbiotic Benefits: The vibrant, open blooms of Zinnia and Cosmos are massive pollinator magnets, ensuring a productive ecosystem. Statice attracts beneficial insects, and the collective variety provides a highly diverse habitat, increasing garden resilience against pests. Regular cutting encourages more flowers!
