Planting & Care
Sow Old Mexico Zinnia seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Cover seeds lightly with soil and keep consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at 70-75°F. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage good air circulation.
Water regularly at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which helps prevent disease. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and fertilize lightly if growth appears slow. Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance and thrive in warm, sunny locations.
