Warm, sun‑ripened colour—just like a summer dessert.
Peach Cobbler Zinnias deliver a mouth‑watering blend of warm peach, soft apricot, buttercream, and glowing sunset tones. These lush, full blooms bring a delicious, nostalgic warmth to garden beds, borders, and cut‑flower arrangements. Long stems, abundant flowers, and heat‑loving growth make them an all‑star annual for any sunny space.
Sun: Full sun (6–8+ hours)
Soil temperature: ≥ 21–24 °C for optimal germination
Sow depth: ¼–½ in
Spacing: 12–18 in between plants; 18–24 in between rows
Mature height: Approx. 24–36 in
Bloom time: Mid‑summer to frost
Watering: Moderate—allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings
Fertilizer: Balanced, slow‑release fertilizer as needed
After frost has passed and soil warms to ≥21 °C, sow ¼–½ in deep and thin to 12–18 in once seedlings are established.
Sow 3–4 weeks before last frost in warm soil (21–24 °C). Transplant after hardening off when nights are reliably mild.
Pinch plants at 10–12 in tall to encourage branching and a steady flow of long, strong cutting stems.
Choose containers ≥12 in deep (volume 15–20 L or larger). Use high‑quality potting mix with consistent watering and full sun to maximize bloom production.
In warm soil, seeds germinate quickly and build sturdy, branching plants. Once established, they send up waves of full, peach‑toned blooms—perfect for bouquets or brightening up sunny borders.
