100 Inca Zinnia Seeds - Golden-Orange Blooms for Summer Garden & Cut Flowers
Inca Zinnia is a striking annual known for its bold golden-orange blooms that bring vibrant color to summer gardens and cut flower arrangements. These zinnias produce fully double, dahlia-like flowers on sturdy stems, creating a cheerful display from midsummer until frost. The warm, sunset-hued petals make them a favorite for borders, beds, and pollinator gardens, and they are equally at home in fresh bouquets.
Easy to grow from seed, Inca Zinnias are heat-loving and reward gardeners with continuous blooms when spent flowers are removed. Their bright color and long vase life make them a standout choice for both garden display and floral design.

Planting & Care
Sow Inca Zinnia seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin or transplant seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage good air circulation.
Water regularly at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which helps prevent disease. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering. Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance and thrive in full sun with moderate watering.
