Zinnia, Oklahoma Mix

Zinnia, ‘Oklahoma Mix’, Zinnia elegans – 50 or 200 seeds avg.

Oklahoma Zinnias are a smaller take on a gorgeous flower. I just love these smaller zinnias that are fully double. The blooms are 1.5".

The mix includes pink, red, yellow, white, and salmon.

Planting Tips:

• Full sun.

• Plant seeds directly in the garden or start indoors for an earlier start.
• Start seeds indoors to transplant to the garden when 2-3 weeks old or plant seeds directly in the garden after last danger of frost.
• Cover seed.
• 3-5 days to germinate.
• Pinch plants at 12” for branching and space plants 6-9” apart.

• Make the first harvest cut above the bottom two side shoots, this establishes a branching habit for the season.
• Make future cuts at the base of the stem.
