What you need to know to Plant & Grow Zinnias are heat-loving specialists that perform best when the soil is warm and the sun is bright. Sow Outdoors: Direct sow in late May once the soil has warmed. Avoid planting too early, as cool, damp soil can lead to seed rot. Barely cover the seed with soil. Sow Indoors (Optional): For earlier flowers, start in mid-March using peat pots or Jiffy-7s to avoid root disturbance. Sow 6 mm deep and maintain a temperature of 22°C. Germination: Under ideal conditions, sprouts will appear in 5–10 days. Growing On: Once germinated, grow at a cooler 15°C to develop sturdy stems before hardening off and transplanting in late May. Spacing: Because this is a taller variety, thin or transplant seedlings to 35 cm apart to allow for proper airflow and support. Care: Choose a sunny site with well-drained organic soil. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage constant new growth.
