The salmon-colored double blooms deliver continuous color throughout the season without the leggy sprawl typical of older zinnia varieties. Compact growth and disease resistance mean less fussing and more flowers from a small footprint. Transplants establish quickly and tolerate both garden beds and containers with equal enthusiasm, making this cultivar genuinely useful rather than merely decorative.
Double Zahara Salmon Zinnia works double duty in the garden and vase. Taller specimens produce excellent cut flowers for fresh arrangements, while the compact growth habit makes them equally at home in container displays and garden borders.

Sow seeds into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling containers 4 weeks before your planned outdoor planting date. Cover seeds with soil and provide bottom heat using a seed mat to maintain temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 24 degrees Celsius) for optimal germination in 5 to 7 days. Lower temperatures will slow germination significantly. Avoid allowing seedlings to become root bound, as transplant shock can temporarily cause double-flowering plants to produce single blooms.
Harden off transplants gradually before moving them outdoors. Wait until soil has warmed and frost danger has passed before planting into garden beds or containers. Space plants 9 inches apart.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep directly into garden soil after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed.
