California Giants zinnia lives up to its name with towering plants and 4–6" blooms in a carnival of colors. A century-old cutting classic, it delivers armloads of stems for jars and markets, asking only for sun, spacing, and regular picking. Butterflies and bees work the centers while you work the scissors. Zinnias were once dismissed as weeds in their native Mexico until breeders saw their potential—California Giants proved how far they could go. Plant a row and you’ll see why every cutting garden makes room for them.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden after average last frost date when soil has warmed up. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 70-90°f. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Requires full sun and well drained soil. Cut back old blossoms to encourage new growth.
