Zinnia haageana ‘Aztec Burgundy Bicolor’ — Aztec Burgundy Bicolor Zinnia. Organic Aztec Burgundy Bicolour zinnia is a bright annual flower that immediately brings a sense of warmth and richness to both garden beds and container arrangements. Compact and freely flowering, this Mexican zinnia covers itself in double blooms with rich purple and burgundy tones, delicately shaded with yellow and white throughout the summer. Its generous flowering is continually renewed until frost arrives, creating colourful ribbons along the edges of beds and keeping those borders lively through the growing season. The flowers are appreciated by bees and butterflies, bringing activity to the garden while contributing a generous display of ornamental colour around the other plants.
Recommended planting period: after the last frost. The depth to be respected is 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Germination usually takes 5 to 12 days. For germination, keep the soil at 21 to 27°C (70 to 81°F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature.
Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed. Position smaller flowers close to a path for easy viewing, while taller plants can provide a focal point at the back of a bed. Repeat groups of the same variety to create a clear, visible colour pattern. Leave room to reach the plants for cutting, and avoid crowding clumps simply to fill the space right away. Choose between prolonging flowering and keeping flower seeds on a few stems. Deadheading is suitable for many annuals, while developing seed heads and dried flower clusters can also provide ornamental interest.

Growing method
Recommended planting period: after the last frost. The depth to be respected is 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Germination usually takes 5 to 12 days. For germination, keep the soil at 21 to 27°C (70 to 81°F). Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature. Plant outdoors once the conditions are suitable for the plants’ cold tolerance. Watch the progression from flower buds to open blooms and faded flowers to decide which care the plant needs. A cut must preserve the shoots that will bloom afterwards. Check the supports on tall-stemmed plants after a period of strong wind. Lightly removing damaged growth helps maintain the plant’s shape without leaving it bare. Adapt the end of the season to the cycle of the plant: annuals and perennials do not require the same preparation for winter.
Soil and care
Soil & care
Watering
Keep the seedbed surface slightly moist until seedlings emerge, using a gentle spray that does not displace the seeds. After rooting, water at the base of the plant when the soil begins to dry and allow excess water to drain. Avoid small, too frequent applications that wet only the surface. In a container, check the needs more often during hot or windy days. Adjust the frequency to precipitation, drainage and plant development.
Soil type
Prepare well-drained soil for planting. Transplant the young flowering plants once their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle the seedlings gently and avoid squeezing their delicate stems. Under grow lights, gradually space the containers farther apart so that the foliage does not overlap. Hardening off then prepares the plants for outdoor sunlight, wind and changes in temperature.
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and should take into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the recommended application rate. Avoid combining too many products, especially in a container where the roots have a limited volume of growing medium. Water as needed after applying nutrients, and observe foliage growth before deciding whether another fertilizer application is necessary.
Moisture
Keep the growing mix moist during germination, without standing water; then adjust to the crop

Container growing
Container growing
Recommended pot size
A stable container with drainage holes, enough width for the plant’s spread and sufficient depth for its roots
Choose a location in full sun. Reserve this spread around the plant: 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in.). A flowering container arrangement should leave enough room for every plant to grow. Place upright plants where they remain visible, and let any trailing stems extend over the container’s edge. Check that the combined plants share the desired exposure and moisture. After a few weeks, check where the plants are becoming crowded and remove only damaged parts or stems that disrupt the balance of the arrangement.

Garden associations
Companion plants & uses
Companion plants
In a mixed planting, you can reserve sections close to these plants: cosmos, calendula, rudbeckia, basil. The association is used here to organize space and crops. Allow for the height, light requirements and water needs of each plant, leaving enough room between the foliage. Keep a path clear for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to make room for the next planting. This arrangement makes maintenance easier without promising protection against garden pests. Plan the arrangement around each plant’s mature habit and the distance from which the flowers will be viewed.

Wildlife & precautions
Supporting wildlife
The flowers can provide a place for visiting pollinating insects during the growing season. Grow several plants in a sunny area that visiting insects can reach, and avoid applying treatments to flowers while they are open. Leave some flowers in the garden for visiting insects if you are also cutting stems to use in bouquets.
