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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.
