Growth:
With its stiff, upright stems, it reaches heights of 20 to 100 cm, depending on the variety. The stems are solitary and coarsely hairy.
Flowering time:
July to September
Location:
Full sun; flowering will be reduced in partial shade. It prefers very warm conditions. Cold, wet locations are completely unsuitable.
Care:
Tall varieties require support to prevent them from bending. Zinnias have high demands on light, water, and nutrients. Therefore, water and fertilize regularly and choose the right location.
Reproduction:
Sowing can begin in March in the greenhouse. The seedlings can then be planted outdoors starting in mid-May. But only if the weather is already warm enough; otherwise, it's better to wait until early June.
