Description
Zinnia elegans 'Art Deco' is a stunning mix of tall, well-proportioned Zinnia that bear large, semi-double to double flowers in many romantic shades at the top of long stems, that are sensational in bouquets. This tall plant is grown as an annual and produces from July until the first frosts, depending on the date of sowing, a colourful display of light pink, lilac, lavender and dark purple hues. It is simply gorgeous in beds and bouquets and easy to grow by all types of gardeners.
Zinnia elegans is a sturdy annual belonging to the family Asteraceae, that is native to Mexico and has given rise to many cultivars. 'Art Deco' is just one selection of these hybrids, is cultivated for the beauty of its large capitulum. The plant forms a well-branched mound which is on average 80 cm high and 40 cm wide. Its stems are hollow and very long and carry rough, downy, lanceolate to elliptical, medium green leaves. It bears nectar-rich, melliferous blooms from July to September-October. The flowers appear in the axils of the leaves, forming large, double or semi-double, hemispherical, slightly flattened, 10 cm wide capitula that are composed of numerous spatulate ligulate flowers, resembling the inflorescence of certain dahlias. They display different hues depending on the plant: either a fresh, light pink, lavender, red or royal purple, all surrounding a darker centre.
Much appreciated for their sturdiness, striking colours and ease of cultivation, Zinnias are a valuable asset in any garden. Versatile, they can be placed in borders, flowerbeds or in the vegetable garden, between rows of crops. Zinnia thrives in the sun and tolerates heat very well, provided they are watered every once in a while. It performs best in neutral, rich, well-drained soil. It is quite undemanding, adapting to any average garden soil. You can easily combine it with perennials such as pink Rudbeckias or other annuals such as Coreopsis or Ammi visnaga. They can also be sown in pots to decorate the terrace in summer.

Planting and care
Direct sow Zinnia seeds from April to May, in warm soil that has been raked to a fine tilth. 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 an early flowering, sow from March to April (indoors, at a temperature between 15 and 25 °C) in a seed tray filled with a good quality seed compost that should be kept moist but not waterlogged. When the plants are large enough to be handled, prick them out into pots. Gradually acclimatize your Zinnias to cooler conditions for a fortnight or more before planting them out in the garden, once all risk of frost has passed. Space the plants 30 cm apart.
Zinnia likes sun and tolerates strong heat well, provided they are watered every once in a while. It performs best in neutral, rich, well-drained soil. It is quite undemanding, adapting to any average garden soil. It can occasionally be prone to powdery mildew; an inconvenience that can be easily avoided by placing it in spots with good air circulation and taking care not to wet its foliage when watering. Once planted, be mindful of the voracious appetite of slugs which are fond of their young tender leaves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
