A stellar performer in our trials, we were awestruck by the display of fuchsia-starred, cream blooms. Mounding plants reach 12-18 inches tall and wide with showers of single and semi-double flowers. A survivor in the garden, these zinnias are disease-tolerant, heat-loving and have low water requirements; performing magnificently in hot, arid conditions. A high-impact show of color all season long in borders, beds, and containers. (1) Germination occurs between 70-85°F and within 6-15 days. Sow indoors and cover lightly. (2) Needs a period of pre-chilling. Mix seeds with moistened peat moss and place in plastic bag. Seal and place bag in an area where the temperature is around 60°F for 2-3 days. Then place in the refrigerator for 30-90 days. After pre-chilling, place seed on sterile seedling mix and cover lightly. Germination may take up to 30 days.
