Sweet Blueberry Cheesecake Zinnia Seeds

Sweet Blueberry Cheesecake Zinnia is an extraordinary bicolor selection that delights gardeners with large, fully double blooms in creamy white, soft lavender, rich violet, and blueberry-purple tones. No two flowers are exactly alike—many feature petals brushed, streaked, or tipped with shades of purple over a creamy background, creating a color combination reminiscent of a slice of blueberry cheesecake. With its sturdy stems, long bloom season, and eye-catching flowers, this unique zinnia quickly becomes the centerpiece of any sunny garden.

Garden Uses
Sweet Blueberry Cheesecake Zinnia is outstanding for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, pollinator borders, mixed annual beds, and colorful landscape displays. The unusual blend of cream and blueberry shades pairs beautifully with white cosmos, purple salvia, lavender ageratum, blue bachelor's buttons, pink gomphrena, ornamental grasses, and silver foliage plants. Its large flowers also make exceptional additions to fresh bouquets, where each bloom contributes its own unique pattern and coloration.

Growing Information
Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil and keep evenly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 5 to 10 days at temperatures of 70–80°F. Grow plants in full sun for the strongest stems and heaviest flowering. Mature plants generally reach 24 to 36 inches tall with a spread of 18 to 24 inches. Water deeply, avoid overhead irrigation whenever possible, and deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming until frost.
