Description
Miss Willmott zinnia is an upright, branching annual with salmon-pink flowers on plants 30–40 inches tall. The blooms last well as cut flowers and bring butterflies and other beneficial insects to the garden.
Sow the seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or outdoors once soil temperatures exceed 70°F. Lightly cover them, then grow in loose, rich, well-drained soil with full sun; in hot climates, part shade helps. Harvest flowers often or remove spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
