Abstract

Zinnias have been loved by gardeners for generations, leading to the development of many cultivars of various sizes and plant types. Plants respond differently to sowing time. Some cultivars have highly double-flowered capitula and brightly coloured, bi-colored ray florets. Success and flower yield depend on zinnia cultivar selection. Local cultivars are resistant to insects, pests, and diseases, promoting vigorous growth and resilience to seasonal challenges. The horticulture research area, college of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, examined zinnia three varieties' morphological traits at different sowing times. Zinnia varieties were sown on three dates for this experiment. V2 excelled in height, flowers, and leaves. Meanwhile, v1 had larger flowers and leaves. In all three sowings, the first sowing performed best in both verities. No Zinnia haageana germinated.
