Zinia Assorted Seeds

Zinnia Assorted Seeds: Detailed Care Guide

1. Seeding:

   • Zinnia seeds can be sown directly in the garden after the last frost, or started indoors 4-6 weeks earlier.
   • Plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep and space them 6-12 inches apart.
   • Ensure the soil is loose, well-drained, and rich in organic matter.
   • Germination typically occurs in 5-7 days under the right conditions.

2. Growing:

   • Zinnias thrive in full sunlight, so choose a spot that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
   • They grow quickly and can reach heights of 1-4 feet depending on the variety.
   • Once the seedlings are about 3 inches tall, thin them out to prevent overcrowding and allow better air circulation.

3. Care:

   • Zinnias are relatively low-maintenance, but regular deadheading (removing spent flowers) will encourage more blooms and extend the flowering season.
   • Fertilize the plants once or twice during the growing season with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer.
   • Watch for pests like aphids and whiteflies, and remove them by hand or use a gentle insecticidal soap if needed.

4. Temperature:

   • Zinnias prefer warm weather and grow best in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C).
   • They are sensitive to frost, so wait until all danger of frost has passed before planting outdoors.

5. Watering:

   • Water zinnias deeply but infrequently, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
   • Water the plants at the base to prevent water from sitting on the leaves, which can lead to fungal diseases.
   • In hot or dry weather, water the plants 1-2 times a week, depending on the soil conditions.
