Common zinnia 'Whirligig'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Whirligig is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Whirligig needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Whirligig about 21 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Whirligig is a tender plant.
