Planting & Care
Sow Zahara Starlight Rose 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, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, typically in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 9-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Fertilize lightly every 4-6 weeks if soil is poor. With proper care, these zinnias will reward you with a profusion of blooms all season long.
