100 Dwarf Zinnia Seeds - Short Stuff Mix, Heirloom Non-GMO

Dwarf Zinnia Short Stuff Mix is a compact, heirloom zinnia variety that brings bright, cheerful color to small spaces. These non-GMO seeds grow into bushy plants covered with semi-double to double blooms in a lively mix of pink, red, orange, yellow, and white. The short, sturdy habit makes them ideal for garden borders, containers, and edging, where they flower generously over a long season.

Easy to grow from seed, Short Stuff Mix zinnias are a favorite for cut flower gardens and pollinator-friendly plantings. The compact plants stay tidy without staking and continue to bloom through summer until frost, especially when spent flowers are removed.

Planting & Care

Sow zinnia seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, which usually occurs in 7-14 days at 70-75°F. Thin or transplant seedlings so they are spaced 6-12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly during dry spells, avoiding overhead watering to help prevent foliar problems. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Zinnias are generally low-maintenance and thrive in warm weather; avoid planting them too early while soil is still cold.
