Arizona Bronze Zinnia Seeds

Arizona Bronze Zinnia is a warm, sun-loving annual prized for its glowing bronze-orange blooms and long-lasting garden performance. The flowers open in rich shades of copper, burnt orange, coral, and bronze, often surrounding dark centers that give the blooms excellent depth and contrast. Compact yet showy, this variety brings the look of summer sunshine to flower beds, borders, cutting gardens, butterfly plantings, and mixed annual displays.

Garden Uses
Arizona Bronze Zinnia is ideal for sunny flower beds, borders, mass plantings, butterfly gardens, pollinator strips, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and mixed annual displays. Its warm bronze-orange flowers combine beautifully with purple salvia, blue ageratum, yellow rudbeckia, white cosmos, ornamental grasses, marigolds, celosia, and dark-leaved foliage plants. The compact habit makes it useful near the front or middle of borders, while the strong color creates excellent visual impact in summer landscapes.

Growing Information
Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil and keep evenly moist until germination, which usually occurs in 5 to 10 days at warm temperatures. Choose a full sun location with good air circulation. Plants typically grow 12 to 18 inches tall, depending on conditions, and bloom from early summer until frost. Water at the base of the plant, avoid overhead watering, and remove faded blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering.
