Zinnia Dahlia Flowered - Polar Bear - Zinnia elegans - Vivid charm and bold impact in borders - Fresh Seeds

The dahlia flowered zinnia Polar Bear (Zinnia elegans) is a spectacular variety distinguished by its snow-white, fully double inflorescences that resemble miniature dahlias. This plant brings freshness and elegance to the garden, offering a perfect contrast to green foliage and other border colours. It produces strong, erect stems that grow to approximately 80 cm in height, ensuring a healthy and impressive appearance throughout the season. The Polar Bear variety blooms abundantly from summer until the first frosts, thriving both in garden beds and large terrace containers. It looks best when planted in groups to create distinct, bright accents. The flowers are also excellent for cutting and remain fresh in a vase for a long time, making them elegant material for bouquets. This plant is an ideal proposal for those who value classical form, simplicity, and reliability in cultivation.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. Such shallow sowing promotes even germination and strong development of young plants.

Sowing time for direct sowing

Sow seeds directly into the ground in April when the soil has warmed up sufficiently and the risk of frost has passed. In these conditions, seedlings develop quickly and evenly.

Sowing time under covers

Sow seeds under covers from March to April. This method allows you to obtain strong seedlings ready for transplanting to their permanent position after the cold weather recedes.

Planting time

Transfer young plants to flower beds in May. Warm, light soil and a sunny position favour the quick establishment of seedlings and abundant flowering.

Spacing

Maintain a distance of about 40 cm between plants during planting. This ensures that every zinnia has enough space to develop freely and produce large, magnificent flowers.

Blooming period

The Polar Bear zinnia blooms continuously from June until October. Its flowers are resistant to the sun and tolerate summer heat well, remaining fresh and white for a long time.

Cultivation

Zinnias grow best in full sun, in fertile, slightly moist, and well-drained soil. They do not tolerate excess water or cold, so a site sheltered from the wind is important. Sowing can be carried out directly into the ground or in boxes to prepare seedlings for transplanting. Regular removal of faded flowers stimulates the plant to produce new buds and extends the flowering period. The Polar Bear variety pairs perfectly with asters, dahlias, marigolds, and verbenas, creating dazzling summer border compositions.

If you wish for your garden to shine with whiteness and elegance, the Polar Bear zinnia is an excellent choice. This variety is suitable for everyone, including both beginners and experienced gardeners looking for reliable decorative plants with a long flowering period.
