HOW TO GROW Zinnia elegans

Sowing Instructions

Depth: 1/16-1/4"
Sprout Time: 5-10 days
Starting Indoors: Sow 6-8 weeks before last frost. Keep at 70-80°F.
Starting Outdoors: Recommended. Direct sow after last spring frost.
When to Set Outside: After last spring frost, when night temperatures remain above 50°F.

Placement & Cultivation

Perfect for mixed borders and beds, zinnias will brighten up almost any location with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. They are easy to grow and versatile, thrive in varying soil conditions and are easily transplanted, even when growth is significant. Pinch back when seedlings reach about 6-8" in height to encourage bushy growth, and deadhead regularly for a midsummer to frost show.
Final Spacing: 1-1.5'
Water Use: Medium Water Use
Watering Details: Tolerates drought, but performs best when watered regularly. Keep moist, watering only in the morning. Avoid wetting the leaves.
Soil pH: Acidic to neutral
Fertilizer: Mix in an organic, all-purpose granular fertilizer soon after planting out, and again when flowering begins.
Diseases & Pests: Avoid fungal issues by spacing properly and placing in a location with good air circulation. If problems arise, treat with an organic fungicide or neem oil. If slugs are troublesome, treat the surrounding soil with pelletized iron phosphate. Diatomaceous earth or crushed eggshells can also be spread on the surrounding soil to prevent or resolve this issue.
When to Cut For Bouquets: Fully opened flowers
