Description

Zinnia elegans 'Zinderella Fashion' belongs to a new range of cultivars characterised by scabious-like flowers and rich subtlety-toned colours. This variety offers a mix of frilly flowers in shades of lilac, purple and white. Each flower is centred around a voluminous double, honeycomb-like heart, surrounded by a delicate collar. The Zinderella series plants are tall annual plants, offering unique colours that blend perfectly in romantic borders and create delicate bouquets.

Zinnia elegans is a robust annual plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, originating from Mexico, which has given rise to numerous cultivars. 'Zinderella Fashion' is a latest-generation variety, selected for the singular beauty of its flowering. The plant forms a clump reaching an average height of 70 cm with a width of 30 cm. Its stems are hollow and relatively brittle, adorned with rough and fuzzy, lanceolate to elliptical, medium green leaves. Flowering occurs from June-July to September-October, it is nectar-rich and honey-producing. The flowers appear in the axils of the leaves, they are beautiful 6 cm wide rounded heads, architecturally curious, composed of a heart where numerous tubular ligulate petals are tightly packed on a collar of flat and slightly fringed ligules.

Zinnias are known for their sturdiness, bright colours and easy cultivation, all qualities appreciated in gardens. Zinderella varieties, with their pastel shades, harmoniously integrate into various plant compositions, even romantic. These plants love full sun and tolerate heat well, provided they are watered a little. They thrive ideally in neutral, rich and well-drained soil, but also do well in ordinary garden soil. Zinderella Zinnias can be paired with perennials such as pink Rudbeckias and Baptisias, or with other annuals like Moroccan Linaria, Coreopsis or Ammi visnaga. They can also be sown in pots to enhance terraces during the summer. Attractive to bees and butterflies due to their nectar, they enrich the biodiversity of your garden.

Planting and care

Sow Zinnia Zinderella Fashion seeds directly, from April to May, in loosened and warmed soil. Do not bury the seeds too deeply (3 mm is sufficient) and space them 30 cm apart. Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually takes between 7 and 14 days.

For early flowering, sow from March to April (indoors, at a temperature ranging from 15 to 25°) in a tray filled with good seed compost kept moist but not waterlogged. When the plants are large enough to handle, transplant them into pots. Gradually acclimatise your Zinnias to cooler conditions for about a fortnight before planting them in the garden, once all risk of frost has passed. Space the plants 30 cm apart.

Zinnia thrives in the sun and withstands high temperatures well, provided you remember to water it a bit. It thrives best in neutral, rich, and well-drained soil. Not very demanding, it will still tolerate just decent garden soil. It may occasionally be prone to powdery mildew; a nuisance that can be easily avoided by not planting it in a confined location and being careful not to wet its foliage. Be careful as slugs love their young tender leaves.
