Description
From the large Asteraceae family, Zinnia 'Lilliput' mix is an annual plant that grows to a medium size (50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) tall and 25cm (10in) wide) and produces numerous colourful and vibrant flowers from July until the first frost. Its official name is Zinnia elegans 'Lilliput' mix.
Its stiff and well-branched stems bear large, round and pale green leaves. This elegant Zinnia gets its name from the small size of its flowers (3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in diameter). The terminal and solitary flowers are compound heads made up of florets with broad petals that form beautiful hemispherical pompoms.
Although the flowers are not fragrant, they do attract butterflies that come to feed on their nectar.
The bushy silhouette of the Pompon Zinnia makes it suitable for use at the front of flower beds, just behind low-growing plants, or in containers on the terrace. Zinnia prefer a warm and sunny location. Its water needs are quite low, so a well-drained soil will suit it perfectly.
The sturdy stems of the 'Lilliput' Zinnia have excellent vase life and can be used to create small and colourful summer bouquets. Combine it in your flower beds with Marigolds, Indian Roses, Ageratum, and Red Salvias.

Planting and care
Sow the Zinnia:
- In March-April, under heated shelter to obtain young plants to transplant in May. The ideal growing temperature is 22°C (71.6°F). It takes 14 days for the young shoots to appear. The seeds should be covered with one centimetre of soil at the time of sowing, and the germination should be done in darkness.
- In May, directly in the garden in a warm and sunny spot. Transplant the young plants 30cm (12in) apart in your flower beds.
Powdery mildew (a fungus visible as a white powder on the surface of the leaves) can sometimes stain the leaves and disrupt the plant's growth.
Removing faded flowers will promote the renewal of flowering.

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.
