Planting Tips for Success

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep directly outdoors after the last frost when soil reaches at least 65°F, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Spacing: Space or thin plants 12-18 inches apart to give tall plants room for strong growth and good air circulation.
• Sun: Choose a full-sun location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Water at the soil line when the top inch of soil feels dry. Once established, zinnias tolerate short dry periods, but consistent moisture supports the best flowering.
• Support: Because Orange King plants can reach 30-40 inches tall, use stakes or plant supports in windy areas or where stems need extra stability.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting. Avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage foliage instead of flowers.
• Air Circulation: Avoid crowding plants and water at the base to help keep foliage dry and reduce the risk of mildew.
• Cut Flowers: Harvest in the early morning when blooms are fully open. Cut stems at an angle and place them in water immediately for the longest vase life.
