Planting & Care
Sow Magellan Salmon Zinnia seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the seed starting mix consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 5–10 days at 70–75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to 9–12 inches apart in a sunny location.
Water regularly to establish deep roots, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance and rarely require staking, though tall plants may benefit from light support in windy areas.
