Planting & Care

Sow Salmon Queen Zinnia seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, typically within 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 9-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent powdery mildew. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance and benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer once established.
