How to Grow
Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Zinnias perform best in warm bright conditions.
Prepare well-drained soil enriched with compost or aged organic matter to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep and space them 4 to 6 inches apart.
Water thoroughly after planting and continue watering regularly during dry periods. Deep watering once or twice weekly is generally sufficient once plants are established.
Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks if desired to encourage vigorous growth and continuous blooming.
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the growing season.
Monitor occasionally for powdery mildew or spider mites and provide good air circulation around plants to help prevent disease issues.
