Zinnia, Orange King Flowers seeds
Description
Description
The Zinnia Orange King Flowers seeds are from the Zinnia elegans species, a tender annual that produces vibrant, long-lasting blooms. These seeds grow into plants that produce large 4"-5" double blossoms characterized by small, oval mandarin-orange petals surrounding a dark center. The plants reach heights of 2'-3' on sturdy stems with lance-shaped foliage, making them suitable for garden beds and cut flower arrangements.
The Orange King Zinnia is ideal for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity in spring, summer, and fall seasons. It is also valued for its flower meanings related to acclaim, affection, and endurance. The seeds are suitable for planting in USDA hardiness zones 2-11, with optimal planting seasons in spring and summer. They require 60-70 days to reach maturity and should be planted about 1/4 inch deep, with a spacing of 12 to 18 inches between plants. Germination typically occurs within 5-7 days at soil temperatures of 70°F to 75°F. Preferring sandy, loamy, or rich, moist, well-drained soils with a pH of 5.5 to 7.5, Zinnia Orange King Flowers seeds need full sun exposure for optimal growth. They do not tolerate frost but are drought tolerant and deer resistant. The plants have average water needs and do not require cold stratification for germination.
The package includes seeds suitable for direct sowing or transplanting in prepared garden beds.
For care, the plants should be watered regularly, especially during dry periods, and deadheaded to promote continuous blooming. These seeds can be grown successfully outdoors without overwintering, making them a practical choice for budget-conscious gardeners seeking colorful, pollinator-friendly flowers.

Safe Seed Pledge
Safe Seed Pledge
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
