Choose a sunny site with well-drained organic soil. Sow seeds directly into the ground in late May, when the soil is sufficiently warmed. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and keep them moist. Germination occurs in 5 to 10 days under ideal conditions. Thin the seedlings to 10 to 14 inches apart when they are 3 inches tall.
For indoor starts, sow in mid-March 6mm deep in peat pots or Jiffy 7's. Maintain a germination temperature of 22°C, then grow on at 15°C until hardened off and transplant outdoors in late May.
Bring a unique and vibrant touch to your floral arrangements with the 'Giant Lime' zinnia, an exceptional and easy-to-grow hybrid variety.
