About -

Transform your garden into a vibrant masterpiece with Richgrow Seeds Zinnia Mix Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Zinnia elegans), ideal for home gardeners seeking bold, colorful blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Common Zinnia, this mix produces large, daisy-like flowers, measuring 5–15 cm across, in a dazzling array of colors including red, pink, yellow, orange, white, purple, or bicolor, in single, semi-double, or double forms, perfect for borders, beds, containers, or cut flowers, blooming from 6–8 weeks after sowing through summer to fall. These nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, enhancing garden ecosystems. The upright, bushy plants, growing 30–90 cm tall and 20–45 cm wide depending on the cultivar, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) or early monsoon (June–July) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 20–30 cm apart in rows 30–45 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 5–10 days at 20–25°C. Maintain moist soil with regular watering (1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or Japanese beetles. Pinch young plants at 10–15 cm tall to promote bushiness, with excellent durability for cut flowers and garden displays. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
