Zinnia ‘Cresto Red’ adds a splash of long-lasting vibrant colour to a sunny border, with dazzling red crested flowers on tall stems all through summer. Butterflies and bees love the flowers, and they’re fantastic for cutting. This half-hardy annual is very easy to grow. Sow successionally for an extra-long flowering period.

Sow indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds 0.5cm (1/4in) deep and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 15-20°C (60-68°F) and keep moist .

Grow on

Keep seedlings in a light position but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant into trays of potting compost.

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out from April onwards. Allow 30cm (12in) between plants.

Sow outdoors

Seed can be sown outdoors when soil is warm. Sow thinly and lightly cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Thin to 20cm (8in) apart and transfer thinnings to other parts of your garden.

Aftercare

Deadhead regularly to prolong the growing period.

How to grow

Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
