Franchi Seeds - Zinnia Mixed

Perfectly suited to our rapidly warming British summers, zinnias enjoy heat and sunshine and can cope with short periods of drought. They are vigorous annual plants that produce branched stems with compact, double flowers in a wide range of colours, but not blue, which was wishful thinking on the part of the illustrator! Grow zinnias in beds and borders and plant plenty, so that you have ample to pick. Bees and butterflies adore them too. Franchi's Vintage seed range comes from the Franchi 1928 retail seed catalogue. These varieties have been around for over 100 years and are still popular today. Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) is a half-hardy annual. Sow seeds from February to June and plant out after the last frost. Plants grow up to 50 cm tall. The seeds are sourced from Italy. The packaging is plastic-free and recyclable. The vintage illustration is representative and is not botanically accurate.
