Description
The dwarf Zinnia 'Pépito Extra Mix' enhances flowerbeds, the front of borders or planters with a generous, vibrantly coloured flowering. The double pom-pom flowers form small balls in a mix of red, yellow, pink, orange, purple and white. This modest-sized annual flowers generously from July until the first frosts, on stiff stems. Sow under cover in March-April or directly in position in May.
Zinnia elegans Pépito Extra Mix belongs to the large Asteraceae family. The plant quickly forms a clump 30 cm high and 25 cm wide. Its rigid, well-branched stems bear broad, rounded and pointed pale green leaves. The terminal and solitary flowers are compound heads composed of florets with wide petals forming pretty hemispherical pom-poms. The unscented flowers still attract butterflies, which come to sip their nectar.
Zinnia enjoys warm and sunny exposures, is fairly drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil. The Pépito Extra Mix variety forms a small bush, ideal for occupying the front of borders or for embellishing a planter on a terrace. In your borders, pair it with Marigolds, African Marigolds, Ageratum and red sages. Its pom-pom-shaped flowers, borne on rigid stems, offer excellent vase life, perfect for composing pretty colourful summer bouquets.

Planting and care
Sowing Zinnia 'Pepito Extra Mix':
- In March-April, under heated cover to obtain young plants for transplanting in May. The ideal growing temperature is 22°C. It takes 14 days to see the young shoots appear. Seeds germinate in darkness, so ensure you cover the seeds with one centimetre of compost at sowing time.
- In May, directly in the garden in a warm and sunny spot. Transplant the young plants 30 cm apart in your flower beds.
Powdery mildew (a fungus visible as a white powder on the leaf surface) may sometimes stain the leaves and disrupt the plant's growth.
Removing faded flowers will encourage renewed 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).
