A premium and popular zinnia variety known for its giant, fully double blooms with a full, dahlia-like appearance. It produces large and attractive flowers that can reach approximately 10–15 cm in diameter, with a wide range of colors including red, pink, orange, yellow, white, and purple. This variety is known for its strong growth, fast development, and excellent branching, which helps produce a large number of blooms throughout the season. It is also disease resistant and has good plant health, helping maintain continuous flowering for a longer period.
It is an excellent choice for home gardens, flower beds, and cut flowers due to its strong stems and impressive blooms that last well after cutting. It also attracts beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It performs well in warm conditions and blooms heavily in hot weather, making it suitable for growing in the Gulf region during the moderate season.
Planting Instructions:
Seeds can be sown directly in the soil after temperatures improve, or started indoors from the beginning of September to get an early start for the season, then transplanted after the weather becomes milder. Sow seeds about 0.5–1 cm deep in light, well-draining soil and keep the soil consistently moist during germination.
Germination:
Seeds usually germinate within 5–10 days under suitable conditions. They do not require light for germination, so they should be covered with a thin layer of soil.
Light Requirements:
Requires full sun for the best growth and heavy flowering, ideally receiving 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.
Note:
Removing faded flowers regularly encourages the plant to produce more blooms and extends the flowering period. Providing enough spacing between plants improves air circulation and helps reduce disease problems.
