For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.

Once seedlings are established, water regularly, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Zinnias are relatively pest-free and thrive in warm weather, making them a rewarding choice for any garden.
