Zinnia Lilliput Mix Seeds

Zinnias are one of the more reliable flowering choices for a first-time balcony gardener — the Lilliput mix produces compact, pompon-style blooms in a range of colours, and the plants aren't fussy about perfect conditions. They're also a solid pick if you want something that flowers relatively fast compared to other balcony flowers. Seeds are sown shallow, about 0.5 cm deep, and germinate quickly — usually within 5-7 days, one of the faster turnarounds in a flower mix. Water when the top soil feels dry rather than on a fixed schedule, and give the pot 5-6 hours of full sun. Space plants 20-30 cm apart so the compact, bushy habit has room to fill out without crowding its neighbours. Blooms typically show up in 55-70 days, and zinnias need no staking, which keeps the setup low-maintenance.
