"Red Man" chrysanthemum-flowered zinnia (Zinnia elegans) is a variety producing large, bright red inflorescences that have twisted needle-like petals and resemble chrysanthemums. This tall growing zinnia variety reaches 80 - 100 cm in height and works perfectly as cut flower. These typical summer flowers start to bloom at the beginning of summer and continue to produce blooms until first autumn frosts. Scarlet-red flowers will become a distinct colourful mark on every garden border. Planted in larger groupings they will reign over the garden environment. Cut zinnias retain freshness for up to two weeks and will decorate every interior.

Zinnia seeds can be sown indoors early in spring and after approximately six weeks seedlings will be ready for transplanting to the permanent site. You should conduct this activity mid-May, when young plants will not be exposed to spring frosts. You may also sow aster seeds directly to the field in spring. 30 x 40 cm spacings between plants are recommended. Chrysanthemum-flowered zinnias are easy-to-grow plants that develop best in hot and dry summers. The soil should be rich in nutrients and permeable.
