Candy Mix Zinnia
Growing Candy Mix Zinnia
‘Candy Mix’ is a colorful open-pollinated zinnia blend prized for its unusual flower form, bold color range, and excellent garden performance. Distinctive pompom-like centers sit above longer, daisy-like petals in shades of yellow, orange, red, cream, and pink, creating a playful mix unlike traditional zinnias.
Plant ‘Candy Mix’ seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 9 to 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 3 to 7 days. This heat- and drought-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm, sunny conditions.
Ready to bloom in about 70 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Regular cutting and deadheading can help encourage continued flowering throughout the season.
Bright, distinctive, and colorful, ‘Candy Mix’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, bouquets, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
