Zinnia Super Yoga

Zinnia Super Yoga: variety and characteristics

Zinnia Super Yoga (Zinnia elegans) is an annual flower of the Daisy family (Asteraceae). The large-flowered zinnia "Super Yoga" stands out from other zinnias with its large blooms. The extremely large dome-shaped flower heads are reminiscent of those of dahlias. This colour selection will dazzle you both in gardens and in vases.

If you are looking for an undemanding and abundantly flowering plant, zinnia would be a perfect choice. These plants, which reach 70 - 80 cm in height, would be a great choice for raised borders, garden edges or flower meadows.

They attract pollinating insects, bees and butterflies.

Zinnia is one of the brightest and most rewarding summer flowers — it flowers from July until the frosts, attracts butterflies and is excellent for cutting. The more you cut, the more it flowers.

Zinnias are annual plants that are very easy to grow and can be grown from seed without problems. Zinnia seeds are sown indoors in spring. Seedlings should be transplanted to their permanent position after 4 - 5 weeks, when they have developed 3 - 5 pairs of true leaves. The plants should be spaced 30 x 40 cm apart. Zinnias love sunny spots and warm soil. They do not require much water and tolerate drought well.

Sow directly in warm soil after mid-May or for seedlings in April — zinnia dislikes transplanting, so use individual pots. Water at the base to avoid powdery mildew.

Flowering and uses

Cut the flowers at full bloom — the stem must be firm below the flower. Cutting stimulates new flowers.
