When to Grow

Jazzy Red is best direct sown soon after your last spring frost, or started indoors about 4 weeks before the last frost and transplanted out after frost has passed. Plant the seed 1/4 inch deep; at a germination temperature of 75-80°F seedlings appear in 4-6 days. Count on about 80 days from sowing to the first fully double blooms. The plants are not frost hardy.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 5-7 days.
  • Sow seeds indoors 4 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost, or direct seed after last frost has passed.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
  • Ideal germination temperature 75-80 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil.
  • Space plants 9-12 inches apart.
  • Keep deadheaded to encourage continued blooming.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Powdery mildew is a common pest of zinnias. The powdery fungus will appear on both tops and bottoms of foliage and occurs in hot, dry weather.
  • To treat, routinely spray leaves with a hose or neem oil to knock powdery mildew spores from foliage.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow the flowerhead containing the seeds to mature and dry on the plant.
  • Clip off the flowerhead and place in a 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.
