Zinnia elegans 'Queeny Lemon Peach' is a variety from the renowned Queeny series, whose cultivars can boast refined colours. It presents a mix of double, semi-double, and some single flowers. Around a beautiful pink central disc, the ligules begin a cream colour nuanced with chartreuse green and bloom into a beautiful peach. This annual provides beautiful cut flowers for bouquets and is easy to cultivate in the garden. Plant mixed with other equally undemanding flowering plants, in borders and flower beds.
Zinnia elegans is a robust annual belonging to the Asteraceae family, native to Mexico, which has given rise to numerous cultivars. 'Queeny Lemon Peach' forms an erect and branched clump that reaches an average width of 30 cm and a height of 75 cm. Its stems are hollow and relatively brittle, adorned with rough and downy, lanceolate to elliptical, medium green leaves. Flowering occurs from June-July to September-October, and it is nectar-rich. The flowers appear in the axils of the leaves, they are beautiful 7 cm wide heads, with fine ligules that overlap abundantly surrounding a rounded, red-pink centre. Many seeds follow the flowers and spontaneously reseed in light soils.
Zinnias are loved because they are easy to grow. They also show great resilience in conditions where other plants struggle. Zinnias thrive in the sun and withstand high temperatures well, as long as they are watered a little. They do best in neutral, rich, and well-drained soil, but they can also tolerate ordinary garden soil. Plant them in ornamental gardens, borders, and flower beds, and in the vegetable garden. Combine zinnias with informal, naturally charming plants such as sages, perennial geraniums, and Coreopsis. Clumps of ornamental grasses with their spikes mingling with zinnia flowers create a beautiful display. They can also be sown in pots to decorate the terrace in summer. It is a nectar-rich plant that will delight bees and butterflies.

Botanical data
Sow Zinnia seeds directly, from April to May, in loosened and warmed soil. 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 early flowering, sow from March to April (indoors, at a temperature ranging from 15 to 25°C) 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 acclimatise 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 30 cm apart.
Zinnias thrive in the sun and withstand high temperatures, as long as you remember to water them a little. They do best in neutral, rich, well-drained soil but are undemanding and will tolerate average garden soil. They may occasionally be susceptible to powdery mildew, a nuisance that can be easily avoided by not planting them in confined areas and being careful not to wet their foliage. Be cautious during planting as slugs like 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).
