Cabaret Zinnia
$3.25
$3.29
Renee's Garden - Our own wildly extravagant blend of big ruffled zinnias in fabulous “dance all night” hot colors. Cabaret turns up the volume in sizzling shades of bright rose, rich purple, brilliant lilac, magenta, deep orange, and warm yellow. These fully double, multi-branching beauties bloom hard all season. Celebrate summer by cutting armloads of these long-stemmed flowers that practically arrange themselves in bouquets of dancing colors.
Characteristics:
Butterfly & Hummingbird favorites
Pollinators & Beneficials
Annual
Summer/fall bloom
Frost tender
Instructions - To start in the garden, sow seeds in well-worked soil in full sun when the danger of frost is past and the weather is warm and above 50°F (10°C) both day and night. Space seeds 2 to 3 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, cover about 1/2 inch deep, and gently firm the soil. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination.
To start early indoors, four weeks before the last frost date, sow seeds 1/2 inch deep and 3 inches apart in a container of seed starting mix. Keep warm and moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside when temperatures rise above 50°F (10°C) day and night.
Space seedlings 12 inches apart when large enough to handle to give plants room to mature and provide good air circulation. Zinnias grow readily in ordinary garden soil in full sun. For large and abundant flowers, thin before seedlings get crowded; adequate spacing and regular, even watering help keep zinnias productive and discourage mildew. Pick when flower blossoms first open and petals are tight for the longest vase life. Cut long stems well back into the plant to keep plants branching low and producing the best blooms for summer-long bouquets.

3-5 Eye Rootstock - We try to only provide the largest rootstock for peonies for stronger roots that lead to better blooms. 2-3 eye roostock is the most common size offered and occassionally it is what we have to use, but 3-5 eyes per root is our goal. Eyes are the buds of the leaves and stems that will grow this season for you.
Shipping - Ships first two weeks of May- All peonies are packed in spagnum moss or other media to ensure they make it to your garden in pristine condition. We do adjust for shipping charges as every year is slighly different in weights and sizes. We also ship the last 2 weeks of September as well.
Planting Care - Bare roots should be kept cool and in the dark until ready to plant. Peonies do not like to be planted deep and eyes should be kept no deeper than 1" below the soil surface. When possible, it is a great idea to mound your peonies above your existing garden grade to accommodate mulch. Plant no deeper than 1-2". The roots will quickly develop and anchor into the ground.
Full Sun or Partial Sun is best
Prefers loamy soil, can be planted in sandy or clay soils with compost amendments
Give them room to grow as they don't like to be moved once established
Some blooms may occur first year when planting in the spring, fall planted peonies will yield spring blooms most of the time
