How to Grow
To grow Cherry Queen Zinnias, start by sowing seeds directly into the soil after the danger of frost has passed, or start them indoors a few weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds about a quarter inch deep and space them 6-12 inches apart. Ensure they receive plenty of sunlight and water them regularly, but avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew.
Deadheading, or removing spent blooms, can encourage more prolific flowering throughout the growing season. Cherry Queen Zinnias also make excellent cut flowers, bringing their bold color and charm indoors to brighten up any room.
In addition to their beauty, zinnias are known for their symbolic meanings, often representing thoughts of absent friends, lasting affection, and remembrance. Whether you’re looking to add a pop of color to your garden or create a stunning bouquet, Cherry Queen Zinnias are a wonderful choice that will not disappoint.
