Description

The Zinnia haageana 'Jazzy Mix' offers small flowers like fireworks, in different highly contrasting bicolour duos. Semi-doubles or doubles, they come in earthy tones, finished with tips of opposing colours. There are burgundy red, red, yellow and orange with cream, red, or yellow tips. It blooms continuously from summer to autumn in flower beds and borders and brightens up floral arrangements. This annual is easy to grow in the garden. It can be planted in a mix with other equally undemanding flowering plants.

The approximately 20 species that make up the Zinnia genus are native to dry meadows in an area stretching from southwestern North America to South America, but primarily Mexico. Zinnia haageana (Synonym Z. mexicana or Z. angustifolia) is an annual plant that thrives in heat and sunlight, belonging to the aster family, native to Mexico, with small but abundant flowers.

The 'Jazzy Mix' variety forms a small, well-branched clump, averaging 60 cm (24in) high and 40 cm (16in) wide. The hairy, medium-green leaves are narrow and sheathing at the base. The slender stems are often tinged with red near the ground. Nectar-rich flowers appear from July to mid-October in the axils of the leaves, they are semi-double heads, 4 cm (2in) wide, composed of a double row of ligulate petals surrounding a centre of fertile florets which darken as they mature.

Zinnias are appreciated for their ease of cultivation, and rightly so. They also show great resilience in conditions where other plants struggle. Zinnias thrive in sunlight and withstand high temperatures well, as long as they are watered a little. They do best in neutral, rich, well-drained soil, but can tolerate ordinary garden soil. Plant them in ornamental gardens, borders, and flower beds, and the vegetable garden. Combine zinnias with informal, naturally charming plants such as sages, perennial geraniums, coreopsis. The spikes of ornamental grasses mixing with zinnia flowers make 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.

Planting and care

Sow Zinnia seeds directly, from April to May, in loose and warmed soil. Do not bury the seeds too deep (3 mm (0in) is sufficient) and space them 30 cm (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° (59 to 77°F)) in a tray filled with good seed compost, kept 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 fifteen days before planting them in the garden, once all risk of frost has passed, 30 cm (12in) apart.

Zinnias thrive in the sun and tolerate high temperatures well, as long as you remember to water them a little. They do best in neutral, rich, well-drained soil but are not demanding and will also 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 spaces and taking care not to wet their foliage. Watch out for slugs when planting, as they love to feast on the tender young leaves.
