Planting & Care
Sow Cherry Queen Zinnia seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 9-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.
Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, but avoid overhead watering to prevent powdery mildew. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Fertilize lightly if needed; too much nitrogen can reduce bloom production. Harvest flowers for arrangements when blooms are fully open.
