Key Features:

• Vibrant Color: These purple-lavender zinnias deliver stunning hues that brighten up any garden with bold, colorful blooms. The shades of lavender and purple create a striking contrast, making them a focal point in both flower beds and bouquets.
• Long-Lasting Blooms: Zinnias are known for their long flowering period, with blossoms that last from summer until the first frost. This makes them perfect for adding continuous color to your garden for months.
• Ideal for Cut Flowers: With their strong stems and long-lasting blooms, Zinnia Purple Lavender is ideal for fresh cut flower arrangements. The flowers maintain their vibrant appearance even after being cut, making them a favorite for vases and floral displays.
• Easy to Grow: Zinnias are beginner-friendly and thrive in various soil types as long as they get plenty of sunlight. Their low maintenance and high reward make them an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels.
• Attracts Pollinators: These flowers are not only beautiful but also attract beneficial pollinators such as butterflies and bees, supporting your garden’s ecosystem.

Growing Tips:

• Light: Plant Zinnia Purple Lavender in full sun for best results. They require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce their vibrant blooms. Partial shade can be tolerated but may reduce the number of flowers.
• Watering: Zinnias prefer consistent moisture, especially during the growing season. Water them at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, as this can help prevent mildew. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.
• Soil: These flowers thrive in well-draining soil that is moderately rich in organic matter. They are adaptable to a variety of soil types, but amending the soil with compost before planting will promote vigorous growth and blooming.
• Temperature: Zinnia Purple Lavender grows best in warm temperatures, between 70-85°F (21-29°C). They are not frost-tolerant, so it’s essential to plant them after the last frost in your area.
• Fertilizer: For continuous blooms, feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. A slow-release fertilizer or organic compost can also enhance growth and flowering.

Care and Maintenance:

• Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. Deadheading prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production, allowing for more blooms to emerge.
• Spacing: Space your zinnias about 8-12 inches apart to allow for good air circulation, which helps prevent disease and promotes healthy growth.
• Pest and Disease Control: Zinnias are relatively resistant to pests but may occasionally be affected by aphids or mildew. If needed, treat aphids with insecticidal soap and ensure plants are spaced well to prevent fungal issues.

Landscaping and Decorative Uses:

• Garden Borders and Beds: These colorful zinnias are perfect for garden borders, mass plantings, or as a standout feature in flower beds. The continuous bloom period adds sustained beauty to landscapes.
• Cut Flower Arrangements: Their long, sturdy stems and striking color make them ideal for cutting. Freshly cut zinnias hold their vibrant color and can last for up to 2 weeks in a vase.
• Container Gardening: Zinnia Purple Lavender also performs well in containers, adding splashes of color to patios, decks, or balconies. Ensure containers have proper drainage and are placed in sunny locations.
