Planting & Care
Sow Zydeco Cherry Zinnia seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.
Water regularly to maintain even moisture, but avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance and benefit from a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
