Thumbelina zinnias are a 1963 All-America Selections winner, and they are fast-growing and long-blooming plants. On average, these plants reach a height of 12 to 18 inches tall and have a spread of 8 to 10 inches wide. They tend to be low maintenance but will benefit from regular deadheading for further blooming cycles. Thumbelina zinnias prefer full sun in well-drained soil with moderate water during the growing season.
These flowers are considered to be annual growing plants. Annuals complete their entire lifecycle in one year, requiring little maintenance throughout the season as they grow, flower, set seed, and die back at the end of the year. Annuals can be planted from either seeds or transplants which will bloom within weeks after planting. With proper care such as ample sunlight and water requirements met, annual flowers will reward you with lots of colorful blooms throughout the growing season until the first frost arrives.
