An abundance of bright daisy-like flowers which flower profusely from late spring will into mid autumn make these lesser known flowers a must have for a bright and cheerful garden. Despite this genus dating back to the 18th Century, named after Professor Federica Sanvitali, this flower also known as the Creeping Zinnia it is seldom seen in summer gardens. Blooming over a long period, it is perfect for containers, baskets and the Flower Pouch. Its trailing habit offers a profusion of semi-double golden-yellow flowers with pale green centres.

Pot up zinnia plants and grow them on in warm frost-free conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise zinnias to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days and transplant them into their final positions in containers and borders. Plant zinnias in fertile, well drained soil in full sun. When growing zinnias pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on.

Water regularly until zinnia plants are fully established. Deadhead faded zinnia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
