Zinnia Elegans Cresto! Peaches & Cream
This mix of pastel-coloured zinnias is very popular with butterflies and bees, but we love them ourselves too. As the name suggests, the flowers feature popular peach and cream tones.
Zinnia Elegans Cresto! Peaches & Cream can be cut continuously and keep producing blooms. Zinnias are ideal double-flowered cut flowers and are a must-have in your cutting garden.
They are also very strong in a vase.

Tips
When to sow
Indoor sowing: From March to April for an early start.
Direct outdoor sowing: From mid-May, once the risk of frost has passed.
Sowing method
Sowing depth: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep in well-draining soil.
Spacing: Keep 25–30 cm between plants to ensure good air circulation and healthy growth.
Germination temperature: Between 20–24°C. Seeds usually germinate within 7–10 days.
Location and soil
Light: Full sun is essential for abundant flowering.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil. Zinnias prefer warm, dry conditions and do not tolerate wet soil.
Care
Watering: Water regularly at the base of the plant to avoid mildew. Do not let the soil become waterlogged.
Pinching: When young plants are about 30 cm tall, pinch out the top growth tip to encourage branching and more blooms.
Cut flower test: Check if the flowers are ready to cut by gently shaking the stem at the base. If the bloom wobbles, it needs more time to mature.
Extra tips
Regular cutting: The more flowers you cut, the more new blooms the plant will produce.
Thinning: Thin out overcrowded seedlings to encourage strong, healthy plants.
Combining: Zinnias pair beautifully with other summer flowers like cosmos and dahlias for a colourful border.
How many seeds per square metre?
Each packet contains enough seeds for about 1 square metre of flowers. This can vary by variety, so take the mature size of the plants into account.
Tip: Don’t sow all at once. Spread sowing over several weeks to extend the blooming season and have a backup if the first round doesn’t thrive. A single seed can grow into a full plant, so give them enough room. Store your seeds in a cool, dry place – they stay viable for 2 to 3 years.
