ZINNIA 
Plant from February thru August 
Approximate time seed sowing to bloom—I 12 months. 
Grows 2 to 3 feet high, except as indicated for Pompon and Peppermint Stick—18 inches, 
and Persian Carpet—12 inches. 
The zinnia is one of the most easily grown 
flowers for Florida, thriving in almost any soil 
and under almost all conditions. While zinnias 
respond to special treatment, they will also do 
well under the most adverse conditions. Zinnias 
should be planted in every spring and summer 
flower garden in Florida. They are ideal for sum- 
mer flowers in Florida. The zinnia is the leading 
cut flower for the summer months in Florida. 
While seedling plants of zinnias can be trans- 
planted, they do best when the seed is sown 
directly in the garden where the plants are to 
flower. Seeds should not be sown, however, until 
the soil has warmed up and danger of low tem- 
peratures is past. For best results, provide a rich, 
deep soil and give plenty of water when needed 
especially in blooming time. For the best develop- 
ment of plants, they should be given ample room 
to allow free branching for sturdy plant develop-

ment, which will assure the production of large, 
well formed, double flowers. Pompons, Pepper- 
mint Stick and Persian Carpet should be spaced 
12 inches apart in 2 foot rows, all other varieties 
18 to 24 inches apart in 3 foot rows. Zinnias are 
very fast growing annuals during the summer 
months, and successive sowings can be made all 
through the summer and as late as the end of 
August in Florida. 
Zinnias are practically free from all plant dis- 
eases and insects, which is another point mak- 
ing them valuable for garden and cutting use. 
Late in their growth, however, they may be sub- 
ject to powdery mildew, but if the plants are 
properly spaced so that a free circulation of air is 
possible, this trouble should not be serious. A 
dusting of sulphur will check mildew if applied 
in the early stages. 
Fantasy Type 
The flowers of this group are double, of me- 
dium size, with shaggy petals that are tubular, 
curved or crested. Distinctly different from other 
Zinnias and quite a novelty. An unusual range 
of pretty colors.
