Planting & Care
Sow Cupcakes Pink Zinnia seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.
Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, avoiding overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize lightly if needed; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production. With minimal care, these zinnias will provide a profusion of ruffled pink blooms throughout the summer.
