$27.40
Mexican Persian Carpet Zinnia is a vibrant, low-growing annual that brings a tapestry of color to any garden space. This colorful dwarf mix produces semi-double to double blooms in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple, often with contrasting centers. The compact, bushy plants grow 10–12 inches tall and spread 12–15 inches wide, making them ideal for garden beds, borders, containers, and edging. Their long-lasting flowers also make excellent cut flowers, attracting butterflies and other pollinators to the garden.
Easy to grow from seed, these zinnias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They bloom profusely from early summer until frost, providing continuous color with minimal maintenance. Whether planted en masse for a carpet of color or mixed with other annuals, Mexican Persian Carpet Zinnias are a reliable choice for gardeners of all skill levels.

Planting & Care
Sow zinnia seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Thin seedlings to stand 9–12 inches apart to ensure good air circulation.
Water regularly, preferably at the base of the plant, to prevent leaf diseases. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor. With proper care, these zinnias will provide a colorful display all season long.
