Crop duration: Zinia Pom Pom is an annual plant that blooms profusely from summer to fall. Plants begin to flower approximately 8 to 10 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: The Pom Pom Zinia is prized for its large, spherical flowers that can reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. These flowers are extremely showy and have a long bloom life, making them ideal for both gardens and cut flowers. Additionally, zinnias are known to attract butterflies and other pollinators, contributing to a healthy garden ecosystem.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Zinia Pom Pom needs regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, but well-drained. Avoid overwatering, as plants are susceptible to fungal diseases in high humidity conditions.
Pests: Zinnias can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, spider mites and thrips. Using environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: Zinia Pom Pom does not tolerate frost well, so it is recommended to sow it after the risk of frost has passed in spring.
Substrate: A well-drained and slightly fertile substrate is recommended. A compost-enriched soil is ideal for growing zinnias, allowing for good drainage and healthy growth.
Harvest: Zinia Pom Pom flowers are ideal for cutting and use in floral arrangements. Cut the flowers when they are fully open to enjoy maximum beauty and longevity in the vase. To prolong blooming, cut off spent flowers regularly.
