Rose Zinnia is a romantic favorite for cottage gardens.
Its soft, luminous pink petals and dahlia-like form make it a stunning focal point in both flower beds and floral arrangements. For the best visual impact, plant these in clusters to create a lush, rosy backdrop for shorter annuals.

Sow Indoors or Outdoors:
Perfect for a head start or direct garden sowing. Rose Zinnia seeds may be sown indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost and transplanted once temperatures are consistently above 70°F, or sown directly in the garden after the soil has warmed.
Deadheading & Harvesting:
To keep the plant producing flowers all season, practice "cut-and-come-again" harvesting. Use sharp snips to cut stems just above a leaf node; this encourages the plant to branch out and double its bloom production. Regularly remove any faded or dead flowers (deadheading) to prevent the plant from going to seed too early.
