Narrow-Leaf zinnia "Baby"
Narrow-Leaf Zinnia "Baby" - Zinnia linearis = Zinnia angustifolia.
Annual, erect, well-branched plants up to 40 cm high, leaves sessile, elongated or lanceolate. Inflorescences, simple or semi-double, up to 4 cm in size, of various colours.
Blooms all summer: from June until frost. Each flower stays on the plant for up to 35 days.
Zinnias are very heat-loving plants and are afraid of frost. They prefer fertile soil in open sunny places. They respond to watering, and with prolonged drought, the inflorescences become smaller.
Sowing for seedlings in April, to a depth of 1 cm. Planting of plants in a flower bed is carried out after the end of spring frosts after 30-35 cm.
They are used in flower beds, borders, large arrays and for cutting. Flowers stand in water for a long time, retaining the brightness of colour, while the ends of the stems are burned or cut in hot water. A wilted bouquet of zinnias can be brought back to life by placing it in hot water and first renewing the lower diagonal cut.
