Zinnia ‘Zinderella Fizz’ Seeds<\/h2>\n

(Scabiosa-Flowered Zinnia \u2014 Zinderella Series)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zinderella Fizz belongs to the Zinderella series, a distinctive group of scabiosa-flowered Zinnia elegans varieties, and recognized internationally by Fleuroselect<\/strong>, the European seed industry’s independent quality and innovation body. In 2024<\/strong>, Zinderella Fizz was awarded the Fleuroselect Approved Novelty designation<\/strong> \u2014 a recognition reserved for varieties that demonstrate outstanding ornamental value and consistent performance across international trial gardens. The name Fizz captures the effervescent energy of its blooms: layered<\/strong>, fringed<\/strong> petals<\/strong> that bubble outward from a deep contrasting center in a continuous fizzing display of color.<\/p>\n

The flowers are bi-colored in strawberry-red and white<\/strong>, with red petals tipped in white and a deep dark red central eye that creates a vivid color contrast. The bloom form is scabiosa-type, meaning the flower carries a domed, cushion-like double center surrounded by a single outer ring of guard petals \u2014 a form entirely distinct from the flat-petalled dahlia or pompom zinnias commonly seen in gardens. Blooms<\/strong> measure up to 6 cm across<\/strong> and are borne singly at the tip of each stem, making them ideal cut flowers with a typical vase life of seven days or more.<\/p>\n

Plants are dense, upright, and well-branched, reaching 60 to 75 cm in height<\/strong>. An important characteristic to note is that not every flower will be fully double<\/strong> \u2014 some single or semi-double blooms appear naturally, particularly early in the season. As temperatures moderate and days shorten, the proportion of fully double scabiosa-type flowers increases significantly. This is especially relevant in Kuwait, where the finest blooms will appear from November<\/strong> onward as conditions cool.
\nZinderella Fizz is an easy and rewarding plant to grow. It thrives in full sun and tolerates heat well, though it performs its ornamental best during mild weather. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.<\/p>\n

        Germination Instructions<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Sow seeds 6 mm (\u00bc inch) deep in finely sieved, moist seed-starting compost.<\/li>\n
        • Seeds must be covered \u2014 light is not required for germination.<\/li>\n
        • Maintain a consistent temperature of 22\u00b0C for best results.<\/li>\n
        • Germination typically occurs within 5 to 10 days under optimal conditions.<\/li>\n
        • For indoor sowing, use cell trays or small pots and transplant once seedlings have developed two to three true leaves.<\/li>\n
        • Avoid disturbing roots during transplanting as zinnias are sensitive to root disturbance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Growing Tips<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil with good organic matter content.<\/li>\n
          • Generous spacing of 30\u201340 cm between plants is essential to allow air circulation, which reduces the risk of powdery mildew \u2014 the main fungal issue affecting zinnias in humid or still-air conditions.<\/li>\n
          • Water consistently at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the foliage.<\/li>\n
          • Pinch back young seedlings at 6\u20138 cm height to encourage branching and a bushy habit.<\/li>\n
          • Deadhead or cut flowers regularly once open \u2014 this is the most effective way to extend the flowering season.<\/li>\n
          • Apply a balanced organic fertilizer at planting and again at first bud formation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Gulf Planting Season<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Indoor sowing (seed trays): September to mid-October<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Transplant outdoors: mid-October to November<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Direct sowing outdoors: October to November<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Peak flowering season: November to March<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Note<\/strong><\/span>: In Kuwait’s summer heat, direct sowing is not recommended before October. <\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Zinderella Fizz produces its finest fully double scabiosa-type blooms as temperatures drop below 30\u00b0C \u2014 expect the best flower quality from November onward through the cool season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Garden Uses<\/h3>\n
