Zinnia California Blend displays large 4 to 6 inch flowers that will continue to bloom from early summer through fall until first frost. The Zinnia performs best in rich, deep, well-drained soil. Mix a high phosphorous, low nitrogen fertilizer in with the soil. They need to be kept well watered but not soggy wet. Plant in late spring, 2 weeks after the average last frost date. This Zinnia is great for cut and dried flowers and looks excellent in mass plantings. ... details
