Description
Zinnia elegans 'Pop Art Golden & Red' is a magnificent award-winning variety. The golden yellow pompom flowers are finely striated and splashed with scarlet red. Very bright, vigorous, and floriferous, it will brighten up your flower beds all summer long. It also makes superb bouquets.
Highly appreciated for their robustness, vibrant colours, and ease of cultivation, Zinnias are a reliable choice for the garden. Versatile, they can be used in borders, flower beds, or even in vegetable gardens, between the rows of vegetables.
Zinnia elegans 'Pop Art Golden & Red' has a medium habit, with a height of 60cm (24in) and a width of 30cm (12in). It can be easily paired, either in flower beds or in vegetable gardens, with other annuals such as Coreopsis, Sulphur Cosmos, and African Marigolds.
Native to the southern United States to Argentina and belonging to the Asteraceae family, Zinnia is an herbaceous annual plant. It bears vigorous flowers with vibrant colours on stiff, upright stems, with the size and shape varying depending on the variety. Its leaves, linear to ovate, are pointed and a beautiful medium green. Zinnia flowers generously, starting from July and lasting until the first frost. It is a nectar-rich plant that will delight bees and butterflies.
Zinnia thrives in full sun and withstands high temperatures, as long as it is watered regularly. It performs best in neutral, rich, and well-drained soil. Although not demanding, it can tolerate average garden soil.
To encourage and support its long flowering period, it is advisable to regularly remove faded flowers. Easy to grow, it can occasionally be susceptible to powdery mildew, a nuisance that can be easily avoided by not planting it in a confined area and avoiding wetting its foliage.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of Zinnia 'Pop Art Golden & Red' directly, from April to May, in loosened and warmed soil. Do not bury the seeds too deeply (3mm is sufficient) and space them 30cm (12in) 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°C (59 to 77°F)) in a tray filled with good seed compost that you keep moist but not waterlogged. When the plants are large enough to handle, transplant them into pots. Gradually acclimatize your Zinnias to cooler conditions for about two weeks before planting them in the garden, once the risk of frost has passed. Space the plants 30cm (12in) apart.
Zinnia thrives in the sun and withstands high temperatures, as long as you remember to water it a little. It performs best in neutral, rich, and well-drained soil. Although not very demanding, it will still tolerate a garden soil that is just adequate. It can occasionally be susceptible 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 cautious during planting as slugs 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).
