Zinnia 'Queeny Lime with Blush'

Zinnia elegans

• Chartreuse green petals that soften with maturity surround a fushia pink centre
• Double and semi double 60-80mm blooms
• Very productive cut and come again plants
• Easy to grow - thrives in heat

A luminous lime-green bloom with layered petals creating a ruffled effect  - some with age displaying a soft cranberry or melon patina -  that soften through creamy chartreuse tones toward a vivid fuchsia centre. The subtle variation across a planting creates beautiful movement and depth.

Equally at home among soft pastels or bold saturated colours, this zinnia has an extraordinary ability to brighten and enliven whatever surrounds it, making it invaluable both in the garden and in bouquets. Mostly double and semi-double blooms are carried on long, sturdy stems with an excellent vase life — a designer’s dream flower.

Zinnias are true cut-flower workhorses: highly productive cut-and-come-again plants that flower continuously for months. Plants can exceed 1 metre in height and thrive in heat and summer conditions.

Another irresistible selection from the Queeny Lime series, with which we are completely enamoured.

Seed Raising, Growing and Harvest Information

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Temperatures below 15 °C delay flowering so plan to transplant when nighttime temperatures reliably not below 15 °C. Sow into flats or preferred seedling container 6 weeks before your transplant date.. Cover seeds lightly with vermiculite. Seeds germinate best at 20-22 °C. Higher temperatures reduce germination. Grow on at 15-18 °C for 3-4 weeks. Harden-off and transplant. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.

DIRECT SEED - After last frost, sow 0.6mm deep. For cut flower production, thin seedlings or plant plugs at 20-25 cm in rows 30 cm apart.

NOTES - Succession-sow/plant every four weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
