T&M's flower breeders are delighted that all their hard work over the last 10 years has resulted in Zinnia Aztec Sunset being awarded a Fleuroselect Gold medal.
This spectacular Zinnia produces floriferous, dwarf, bushy plants clothed in striking double flowers in a wide range of vibrant colour shades, including many bicolours. These attractive fully double flowers have excellent weather resistance and will create a long lasting colourful display in borders or containers, as well as attracting butterflies to your garden.
Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds onto the surface of a good free-draining, damp, seed or multipurpose compost. Lightly cover, 3mm (⅛ in) deep with vermiculite. Place container in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 20-30C (68-86F) until after germination which usually takes 7-14 days.
Can also be sown direct into the soil after last frost.
