Description
Zinnia marylandica Zahara Sunburst is a variety whose large red and yellow bicolour flowers will make a sensation all summer long. Resistant, vigorous, and floriferous, it will be remarkable in borders and bouquets.
Highly appreciated for their robustness, vibrant colours, and ease of cultivation, Maryland Zinnias are a safe bet in the garden. Versatile, they can be placed in borders, flower beds, or even in the vegetable garden, between rows of vegetables.
Zinnia marylandica Zahara Sunburst has a compact habit , reaching a height of 40cm (16in) and a width of 40cm (16in). It can easily be combined with Rudbeckias, Sulphur Cosmos , or grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, to create a very contemporary meadow.
Native to the southern United States to Argentina and belonging to the Asteraceae family, Zinnia is an annual herbaceous plant. It bears vigorous flowers with bold and vibrant colours on stiff, upright stems, varying in size and shape depending on the varieties. Its leaves are linear to ovate, pointed, and a beautiful medium green. Zinnia's flowering is generous, starting from July and lasting until the first frosts. It is a nectar-rich plant that will delight bees and butterflies.
Zinnia thrives in full sun and withstands high temperatures, with occasional watering. It performs best in neutral, rich, and well-draining 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 may occasionally be susceptible to powdery mildew, a nuisance that can be easily avoided by not planting it in a confined situation and taking care not to wet its foliage.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of Zinnia marylandica Zahara Sunbrust directly, from April to May, in loose and warm 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, you can 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 individual pots. Gradually acclimate 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, provided you remember to water it a little. It does best in neutral, rich, and well-drained soil. It can be susceptible to powdery mildew; to effectively prevent it, do not plant it in a confined area and be careful not to wet its foliage.

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.
