{"product_id":"thumbelina-zinnia-seeds","title":"Zinnia Seed - Thumbelina","description":"\u003cp\u003eThumbelina is destined to be the darling of your garden! A 1963 All-America Selections winner, this charming variety may be shorter, but still produces an abundance of cheerful blossoms in a wide range of colors. Zinnias are edible, but have little flavor. The colorful flowers can make a pretty garnish to salads, desserts, cold drinks, or serving trays. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.) Zinnias thrive in heat, bloom all season, and are very easy to grow. Each individual flower lasts a very long time on the plant or in a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFamily:\u003c\/b\u003e Asteraceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Zinnia (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/blogs\/sowing-guides\/zinnia-sow-and-grow-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative:\u003c\/b\u003e Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e Frost-sensitive annual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/b\u003e Summer to frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\"–16\" tall, 8\"–10\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety Info:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\"–1½\" flowers in a wide range of colors, including pink, red, yellow, and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAttributes:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts Pollinators, Cut Flower, Deer Resistant, Good for Containers, Heat Tolerant, Edible Flower, Frost Sensitive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/b\u003e RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date.
