Description
Zinderella Mixed Zinnia Seeds 6310. Hybrid. Annual.
Approx. 15 seeds/pkt (100-200 seeds/gram)
Award-Winning, Frilly Blooms with Unique Textures.
A recipient of the prestigious European Fleuroselect Novelty Award, the Zinderella Mixed Zinnia is a stunning departure from traditional zinnia forms. This hybrid blend features unique “scabiosa-flowered” blooms—heavily crested, double flowers with thick, frilly layers of petals. These 5.5 cm blooms are so densely packed they often appear as tall as they are wide, creating a pom-pom effect in a beautiful array of colours. Reaching a mature height of 60 cm, they provide a whimsical, high-texture look that stands out in both garden beds and fresh floral arrangements.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Zinnias are heat-loving plants that thrive when the soil is warm and the sun is bright.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct sow in late May once the soil has thoroughly warmed. Avoid planting too early, as cool, damp soil can lead to seed rot. Barely cover the seed with soil.
-
Sow Indoors (Optional): Start in mid-March using peat pots or Jiffy-7s to protect the sensitive root systems. Sow 6 mm deep and maintain a germination temperature of 22°C.
-
Germination: Under ideal conditions, sprouts will appear in 5–10 days.
-
Growing On: Once germinated, grow at a cooler 15°C to develop sturdy stems before hardening off and transplanting in late May.
-
Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to 35 cm apart to ensure healthy airflow around the foliage.
-
Note: While the majority of blooms will be fully double and crested, an occasional single flower may appear as part of this unique hybrid’s natural variation.
