Thompson & Morgan Zinnia Queeny Mixed 15 seed

Outstanding zinnia variety which is much admired for its exotic and extraordinary colouring. The showy, many-petalled blooms are various shades of red, fading to lime, with a bright magenta centre. Ideal in a hot, sunny spot in the garden or in pots on the patio. Cut some for vases too!

Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free- draining, damp seed compost. Then lightly cover, 3mm (1/8in) deep, with vermiculite or compost. Place container in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 20-30?C (68-86?F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Direct sow outside from late April once the soil has warmed. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 3mm (1/16in).
