Zinnias (Zinnia elegans) are native to Mexico and Central America. They were first discovered by European explorers in the 16th century and have since been cultivated into many vibrant and diverse varieties. The Rosy Pink Blush Zinnia Mix is a cultivated selection known for its delicate shades of pink and blush tones, making it a favorite among gardeners looking for soft, romantic colors in their landscapes. Providing a long-lasting display, this variety blooms from early summer to the first frost.

Appearance: The color of Rosy Pink Blush mix includes shades ranging from soft pastel pinks to deeper rose hues, often with a subtle gradient or a dusting of blush tones. It has classic zinnia blooms with multiple layers of petals forming a full, daisy-like or dahlia-style flower. Plants typically reach 2-3 feet in height, with flower heads measuring 2-5 inches across. Medium to dark green, lance-shaped leaves with a slightly rough texture.

Growing Tips:  Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours per day) for best flowering. Plant in well-draining, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0-7.0). Space plants 9-12 inches apart for good air circulation and to reduce disease risk.Water moderately, but water deeply when the soil is dry. Be careful not to water excessively to prevent mildew. Pairs well with marigolds, cosmos, and salvias, which attract beneficial pollinators.

Maintenance: A light application of balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) every few weeks encourages continuous blooming. Regularly remove spent blooms to promote more flowers. Generally resistant to pests but watch for aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew.
