Have you seen this picture?
If you have, I’m guessing you’re the proud owner of a brand new pack of lime mix zinnia seeds.
Darn you, Pinterest.
They sprouted quick. Pack says 28 days to germination. I’m guessing that’s a misprint…the extra words must have bled off the page because it should read 28 minus 26 days to germination.
I planted 14 seeds/2 per cell, and 12 of them germinated. That’s 86% or most excellent in my book. Many of my former students would have said “That’s practically an A!”
I didn’t get mine from Burpee—much to the chagrin of Pinterest—but from SaavySeeds on Amazon. Looking healthy so far…I’m sure it’s all the singing the 4 year old does to them. I’ll update…
you know to save the dead heads . and when they dry out in a brown paper bag you can plant thousands of seeds next year and just through them right in the ground . An surprise your neighbors by annousyly tossing some in ther flowerbed and in the Church flowerbed . Spreadthelovewithlittleeffort
You were the first one to teach me this trick! And how many years ago was that??? A loooong time, that’s for sure!! xo
