Plant Information
Plant Type: Annual

Growing Information
General Sowing Time: Spring to summer after frost risk has passed; in warmer frost-free regions, sow while conditions remain warm.
Position: Full sun with good airflow.
Sow Depth: 5-10 mm.
Spacing: 25-35 cm apart for airflow and strong garden performance.
Clear pink blooms soften hot-colour plantings and brighten mixed borders.
Double-flowered form gives the display a fuller, more ornamental look.
Compact habit works well in pots, edging and mass bedding.
Useful for pollinator-friendly gardens and seasonal colour blocks.
Coated seed is easier to handle for accurate sowing.
Garden Uses
Plant Zinnia Zesty Pink in groups for a soft but vivid colour block, or combine it with white, purple, scarlet and yellow zinnias for a mixed summer display. It also works beautifully in patio pots where regular deadheading keeps the show moving.
Growing Notes
Direct sow into warm, prepared soil where possible, as zinnias dislike rough transplanting.
In frost-prone regions, start seed under cover and transplant gently once conditions are safe.
Water deeply, then allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Avoid overhead watering where possible and keep plants well spaced to reduce mildew pressure.
Deadhead or pick flowers often to keep new buds forming through the warm season.
