Planting & Care
Sow Will Rogers Zinnia seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to ensure good air circulation.
Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water at the base of the plants to keep foliage dry and reduce disease risk. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production. With minimal care, these vibrant zinnias will provide a stunning display all season long.
