Zinnia Jazzy is a real head-turner. The rich burgundy-red petals are flecked and tipped with warm tones of yellow and orange, giving every bloom its own fiery pattern. Easy to grow and full of character, these flowers bring bold colour to beds and borders and are just as striking in a vase.
🌸 Flowering: July to September/October (first frosts)
đź“Ź Height: to 45cm
🌿Annual
SOW: in trays or pots from March to April. Cover seeds lightly with compost, perlite or vermiculite, and keep at around 18°C. Germination usually takes 1–2 weeks. Once seedlings are big enough to handle, pot them on—take care to minimise root disturbance. Or, from May/June, sow thinly direct into a sunny bed after the last frost.
GROW: harden off indoor-raised plants before planting out at about 30cm apart in rich soil and full sun. Thin out direct-sown seedlings as they grow. Zinnias love warmth and good soil—and will reward you with bold blooms right through summer.
ENJOY: brilliant for cutting – each bloom adds flair to a summer arrangement. Leave a few in the garden to keep the bees and butterflies happy too.
