HOW TO PLANT Zinnia Seeds
Zinnias are colorful and easy-to-grow annual flowers that are well-suited to various gardening conditions. Here are the basic steps for planting zinnia seeds:
Choose a site: Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil, but they will tolerate some shade and can grow in poor soil as long as they receive plenty of sunlight.
Prepare the soil: Work it to a depth of at least 6 inches to loosen it and remove any large debris. Zinnias prefer a soil pH of around 6.5 to 7.5.
Sow the seeds: Sow the seeds directly into the soil about ¼ inch deep and about 1-2 inches apart. You can also start the seed indoors about 4-6 weeks before the last frost in your area and transplant them to your garden when the soil has warmed up.
Cover the seeds: Cover the seeds with a light layer of soil or other material. Zinnia seeds require light to germinate, so do not bury the seeds too deep.
Water the area: After planting the seeds, water the area thoroughly to help settle the soil and ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Be sure to keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings are established.
Thin seedlings: Once the seedlings are up, thin them to the final spacing of about 3-5 inches apart.
Wait for germination: it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the zinnia seeds to germinate. Be patient and keep an eye on the area, watering as needed to keep the soil moist.
Care for seedlings: When the seedlings are established, continue to keep the soil evenly moist and provide a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if needed. Be watchful for pests, such as aphids and spider mites, which can sometimes be a problem for young plants.
