How to Grow Cherry Queen Zinnias
Sow Cherry Queen Zinnia seeds directly into warm garden soil after the danger of frost has passed, or start seeds indoors several weeks before the final frost date. Plant seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep and space them 6 to 12 inches apart to allow for healthy airflow and strong growth.
Choose a location that receives full sunlight throughout the day. Water regularly during establishment, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering whenever possible to help reduce the risk of mildew and fungal diseases.
Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. With proper care, Cherry Queen Zinnias will reward gardeners with abundant vibrant blooms from summer until the first frost.
