Growing Tips
Queen Lime Orange zinnia is an heirloom variety that thrives in full sun and well-draining, rich soil, blooming from summer until the first frost. For the best results, cut frequently to remove spent flowers.
When to Grow
Plant Queen Lime Orange zinnia seeds after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently at least around 70 F. In USDA zones 3-10, direct sowing in late spring is ideal. Alternatively, you can start seeds indoors about 4 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooming.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a sunny, well-draining location, spacing them 9-12 inches apart for optimal airflow. This spacing helps reduce the risk of diseases like mildew. If starting indoors, use seed trays and keep the environment warm during germination, typically 4-6 days. Use biodegradable pots or other means to minimize root disturbance when transplanting​.
How to Grow
This variety requires full sun 6-8 hours per day and regular watering, letting the soil dry out between sessions to prevent rot. For the best growth, use compost or a balanced fertilizer during planting. Pinching back the plants when they reach about 8 inches tall encourages bushier growth and increased blooms throughout the season.
How to Save
- 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.
