The peach coloring in this zinnia is subtle and sophisticated compared to brighter varieties, and it flowers reliably from midsummer straight through the first frost. It tolerates drought well but actually performs better with regular watering, giving you flexibility depending on your climate and care schedule. Spacing just one inch apart lets you create dense, flowering masses that fill containers or garden beds with weeks of continuous blooms, attracting bees and butterflies while staying untouched by deer.
Zinderella Peach zinnias are grown primarily as ornamental flowers for beds, borders, and containers. Their compact growth habit and continuous blooming make them excellent for creating colorful summer arrangements, either left standing in the garden or cut fresh for indoor bouquets.
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, keeping the soil at 70 to 80°F for germination. Seeds typically sprout within 5 to 10 days at this temperature.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last spring frost has passed, spacing them one inch apart.
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last spring frost, once soil has warmed. This method is recommended and works reliably.
