When to Grow

Queeny Lemon Peach zinnia should be planted after the last frost when the soil has warmed up. This usually means late spring to early summer. You can also start seeds indoors about 4 weeks before the last frost to get a head start and transplant them outdoors once temperatures have warmed up. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Directly sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing the plants 9 to 12 inches apart for good airflow to reduce disease risk. If starting indoors, keep the soil moist until seeds germinate, typically within 4 to 6 days. Use biodegradable pots or other means to minimize root disturbance when transplanting​.

How to Grow

This variety needs full sun for 6 to 8 hours daily and regular watering. Let the soil dry between watering sessions to prevent root rot. Applying a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season can improve blooming.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow the flowerhead containing the seeds to mature and dry on the plant.
  • Clip off the flowerhead and place it in a paper bag or other container.
  • Working over the top of another clean, opened container, rub the flowerheads between the palms to break them apart.
  • The seeds can be separated from the chaff by first screening and then winnowing.
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark place over winter.
