Planting Tips for Success
- When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil temps reach 70°F. In Texas and warm climates, plant in spring and again in late summer for a fall flush of color.
- Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for maximum bloom production.
- Soil: Well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–7.0. Zinnias are adaptable and tolerate average soil conditions.
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep.
- Spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart for proper airflow and to reduce powdery mildew risk.
- Watering: Water at the base; avoid wetting foliage. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings once established.
- Support: No staking needed for most plants, though very tall stems may benefit from light support in windy areas.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting. Once blooming begins, a low-nitrogen formula encourages more flowers over foliage.
- Days to Bloom: Approximately 80 days from direct sow.
- Harvest/Deadhead: The more you cut, the more they bloom! Deadhead spent flowers regularly to extend the blooming season.
