Planting & Care

Sow zinnia seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, planting them about 1/4 inch deep and 9-12 inches apart in a sunny location. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once established, zinnias are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

For bushier plants and more blooms, pinch back the growing tips when seedlings are a few inches tall. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Zinnias are generally pest-resistant but monitor for common issues like powdery mildew by providing good air circulation.
