Zinnias are beautiful and edible flowers that thrive well on aeroponic towers through our innovative vertical farming system. They belong to the Asteraceae family along with daisies and asters. This flower variety was named after Dr. Johann Gottfried Zinn, a German anatomist and botanist who first described it. They offer a lot of benefits, but we cultivate them for two main reasons, each playing a crucial role in our farming practices. Zinnias attract important pollinators like bees, butterflies, and bumblebees with their sweet nectar. This helps not only the Zinnias to grow, but also the oth ..read more

We start by planting the seeds, which takes about 7 days to germinate. Then, it will take around 60 to 70 days (depending on the weather) for the cabbage to reach full maturity and becomes ready for harvest.
