Zinnias: Queeny Lime Blush
A truly elegant and unforgettable zinnia, Queeny Lime Blush combines vintage charm with modern garden performance. Blooms open in soft antique tones of creamy lime green brushed with delicate rose and mauve undertones, creating a sophisticated color palette that feels both romantic and refined.
Fully double, dahlia-style flowers sit atop strong, sturdy stems—making this variety a favorite for cut-flower gardens and designers alike. Each plant produces an abundance of long-lasting blooms that transition beautifully through subtle shades as they mature.
Plant Height: 2.5-3.5’
Packet: 25 seeds
Maturity: ≈80 days
Growing Information for Zinnias
Germination:
3-5 days at 80–85°F (27–29°C). Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Sowing:
Transplant (recommended): Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before your last frost. Sow into cell trays or seed-starting containers, covering lightly with soil (about ¼"). Maintain warmth and good airflow. A heat mat may be most effective. Harden off and transplant outdoors once frost risk has passed. Avoid root disturbance, as transplant shock can temporarily cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms.
Direct sow: After the last frost, when the soil has warmed. Sow ¼" deep in succession every 2 weeks for longer-lasting yields. Thin seedlings to 9–12" apart for strong, well-branched plants, and pinch initial buds or blooms and deadhead to promote strong branching and bloom production.
Light Preference: Full sun.
Plant Height: Varied by species and conditions, typically between 3-5’ tall.
Plant Spacing: 9–12"
Hardiness: Annual.
Stem Length: 16–28".
Soil Requirements: Rich, soil with steady moisture and high organic content. Ideal pH: 6.3–6.8. Avoid overly fertile soils, which can reduce bloom production.
Uses: Zinnias make for abundant cut flowers and pollinator-friendly garden plantings. Excellent for fresh arrangements.
