Zinnia ‘Orange King’ has 4-5 inch wide flowers that are dark orange. The species is native to Mexico and plants are fast-growing and long-blooming. Zinnias make good cut flowers. In addition, they are excellent for pollinator plantings and are especially attractive to butterflies. Zinnias thrive in hot, dry conditions, so grow them in well-drained soil in a sunny border.
‘Orange King’ is a tall-growing zinnia, bearing showy, semi-double orange blooms on tall stems. It’s ideal for using to fill gaps in the border and also works well in container displays.

Sowing Information: 
Starting Indoors : Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Provide 70-85ºF. soil temperature. Transplant after last frost, space 8-12" apart. 
Sowing Outdoors : After the last frost when soil is over 70ºF. Sow a few seeds every 8-12". Thin to the most robust seedlings. For shorter growing seasons they will bloom toward the end of the summer. We like to start seeds both ways, indoors and outdoors for an earlier and longer blooming. 

Care: 
Amend soil with compost before sowing or transplanting. Water seedlings regularly until established. Water well during dry spells. Pinch back plants when they are young for a bushier growth habit. Harvest flowers often for bouquets or deadhead to encourage more blooms.
