Zinnia 'Peach Glitter'
🍑 Zinnia 'Peach Glitter' – shimmering elegance in gold and apricot
Zinnia Elegans 'Peach Glitter' is a zinnia developed by Dreams & Seeds through the breeding of two American lines known for their soft colors and metallic luster.
'Peach Glitter' catches the light in a magical way – with flowers in creamy white and apricot shades, often with a shimmer of gold or rose metal.
The flowers vary between semi-double and double, and the petals sometimes have a slightly shimmering surface that gave the variety its name.
The plants grow 60–80 cm tall, vigorous and profusely flowering, perfect for both cutting and borders.
✨ A variety for those who love shades that shimmer, change with the light and never look exactly the same twice.
🌿 Cultivation & care
- Sowing time: Pre-cultivate 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
- Germination: 3–7 days at 22–25 °C.
- Sowing depth: about 0.5 cm. Keep the soil slightly moist until germination.
- Transplanting: When all risk of frost is over. Harden the plants gradually.
- Distance: 25–30 cm between plants for good air circulation.
- Location: Sunny, warm and well-drained.
- Care: Pick regularly for cuttings – this stimulates abundant flowering.
✨ What to expect
This generation (F₂) originates from a selected cross between two closely related pastel lines.
The result is a relatively stable color palette where approximately 70–80% of the plants have the typical Peach Glitter tone: creamy white, apricot and golden with metallic shimmer.
The remaining plants may show slightly lighter or warmer shades – but all share the same soft, elegant expression that has made the variety so appreciated.
