Cultivation Zinnia
The Zinnia is a year or two year long plant. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. Zinnia isn't an evergreen; during the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a red colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 60 cm in height.

Light ZinniaSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. We suggest growing the the Zinnia in a place where it's sheltered by frost; when all dangers of late freezings are gone we can locate them outdoors.Annual plants are usually not grown during the cold period; as autumn arrives we can uproot them and save the seeds for the year after.

Water ZinniaTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 2-3 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 1-2 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them.

Pests Zinnia
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Zinnia
Let’s grow these plants in a soft and dissolved, but well drained, soil.
