Zinnia Detail

Close up of Queeny Series Zinnia

A wonderful peachy/mango color. Just beautiful!

Really special, Casey!

Casey,

I love the colors of lime (in the center) and the peach together.

Beautiful banner and I love zinnias.

Great banner Casey!

Casey,

you definitely have a green thumb for zinnies.
I tried the queenies last August after seeing yours, but
had only limited success....the blooms didn't open as fully
as I hoped. But will get an early start this year, planting a few
weeks apart all spring & summer to see what works best.

The thread "Banner for August 14, 2019 by greenappleagnes" in Site Banners forum
and the source you posted...

& their planting instructions.

Sow zinnia seeds indoors: 4 to 7 weeks prior to your last spring frost in cell packs or flats, press into soil and lightly cover. Kept at 75°F., seedlings emerge in 3 to 10 days.

Sow zinnias seeds outdoors: in spring after all danger of frost into prepared beds in ¼ in. deep furrows, 4 to 6 seeds per foot. Cover and keep soil surface moist. Thin seedlings to 9 to 24 in. apart depending on the type of zinnia grown. Zinnia plants started from seed in midsummer put on an impressive fall display.

Grow Zinnias: Full sun. Best zinnia performance in rich, well-drained soil with regular water. Easy to grow, plants love the heat, will tolerate drought, and are resistant to deer and rabbits. Bloom is continuous over an extended summer and fall season, and the bright flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies galore!

What a sunny banner to see so early in the morning, Your pictures of Zinnia's have made me want to grow this one, I am still unsure if full sun here is the yard that gets up to 125 for days in a row is the perfect place to grow them but I am excited to try them in both areas of the garden. Thanks for your help in the post above. I have purchased the seed and am anxious to plant them.

Amazing banner Casey!

My gardens are never complete without some zinnias. This one adds a special color and charm!

BEAutiful banner, Casey!

Love those Zinnia's.

Thank you so much Fleur, Cal, Marilyn, Bob, Carla, Frenchy, Leon, Stan and slowcala for taking the time to leave such wonderful comments! Thank you Valarie, CarolineScott, Danita, Dirt, Cal , Asa, Fleur , Frenchy, Stan, GrammaChar, greene, Kurt, Leslie, Debra, Marilyn , Karen, Larry, slowcala , Leon, Valerie, Vicki, William , and zuzu for the thumbs and acorns!!

These are my favorite zinnias. If you splurge and buy all four varieties - Lime, Red Lime, Lime Orange, and Lime with Blotch (or Lime with Blush or Raspberry Limeade) they look terrific together.

Cal and Carla - I hope your gardens are full of zinnia blooms this summer! I have better luck if I start them indoors. Direct sowing hasn't worked so great for me in the past - though that may be more on the person responsible for keeping them watered.

However I did let some go to seed last summer. Will be curious to see if any germinate in the spring.

Casey ~ You have inspired me to sow some this year. I haven't had good luck with them in the ground, either. I'll have to get some fresh seeds.

for the beautiful banner.

Thank you Evelyn for the thumbs and acorn!

I hope starting them indoors works for you too.

Everyone start your zinnies!

Cal.

Thank you jmorth and Tom for the thumbs!
