Planting & Care
Sow zinnia seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed to about 70°F. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7 to 14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage good air circulation. For an earlier start, sow indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost and transplant after danger of frost has passed.
Zinnias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Water at the base of the plants to keep foliage dry, and apply a balanced fertilizer sparingly. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to prolong flowering and keep plants looking tidy. Avoid overhead watering to help prevent foliar issues.
