About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Rose red zinnia (Zinnia elegans) is an upright annual with rose-red flower heads and lance-shaped leaves. Plants typically reach 1-3 feet and flower during summer and autumn while weather remains warm.
Choose a position in full sun with well-drained soil. Sow after frost into warm soil, or start seeds in individual containers before planting out. At 70-75 F (21-24 C), germination typically takes 4-8 days; cooler conditions can slow emergence.
Allow 12-18 inches between plants, giving bushier plants extra room. Water at soil level, provide airflow and remove spent flowers to support continued flowering. First blooms depend on the seed strain, sowing date and growing conditions.
