Oklahoma Formula Mix Improved
Zinnia Seed
Product ID: 1747
Bright colors, excellent vase life, and low susceptibility to powdery mildew.
This improved mix is an essential component of any cut-flower offering. Prolific, double and semidouble blooms are easy to use in bouquets due to their smaller size. The 1 1/2–2 1/2" blooms hold up well to handing compared to larger blooms which can snap at the stem due to the weight of the larger flower heads. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season. Ht. 30–40". Avg. 4,100 seeds/oz. Packet: 50 seeds.

DAYS TO GERMINATION: 3-5 days at 80-85°F (27-29°C)
SOWING: Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling container 4 weeks before last frost. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Harden-off and transplant out after last frost. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - After last frost, sow 1/4" deep. Succession-sow/plant every two weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun.
PLANT HEIGHT: Varies. No support is necessary.
PLANT SPACING: 9-12".
HARDINESS ZONES: Annual.
HARVEST: Before completely open. Stem is firm from point of cut to just below the bloom.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Fertile soil rich in organic matter. pH: 6.3-6.8 preferred.
USES: Taller varieties make excellent cut flowers. Beds, borders, and mass plantings.
