Zinnia flowers can create a massive burst of color in your garden, so consider trying them this year! TYPES OF ZINNIAS The most popular zinnia species is Zinnia elegans, which has been bred to produce a great number of unique varieties. There are three main kinds of zinnia flowers: single, semidouble, or double. The distinction between these forms comes from the number of rows of petals and whether or not the center of the flower is visible: Single-flowered zinnias have a single row of petals and a visible center. Double-flowered zinnias have numerous rows of petals and their centers are not visible. Semidouble-flowered zinnias are somewhere in-between, with numerous rows of petals but visible centers. The plants themselves also come in different heights: taller varieties are best for the background of a garden bed, while shorter varieties work well along a border. There’s really a zinnia for every garden! Plant zinnias in an annual or mixed border garden. Smaller zinnias are suitable for edging, window boxes, or other containers. PLANTING WHEN TO PLANT ZINNIAS It’s recommended that you grow zinnia from seed right in the garden bed, as they do not like to be transplanted and do not often thrive. From seed, they will grow very quickly in the right conditions. Note: Zinnias can be started from seed indoors if you prefer—just transplant them while they’re young and do so carefully. Zinnias are sensitive to frost, so do not seed until the last frost has passed. See your local frost dates. Zinnias will grow in a minimum daytime temperature of about 60°F (16°C), though a range of 74–84°F (23–28°C) is preferred. Sow a round of seeds every week or so for several weeks to extend the flowering period. CHOOSING AND PREPARING A PLANTING SITE Choosing a location that gets full sun is essential. Good air circulation will help to prevent foliar diseases such as powdery mildew later in the season. Zinnias are adaptable to most soil conditions, but the ideal soil will be rich in organic matter and well-drained. Soil pH should be between 5.5 and 7.5. If soil is amended with compost, the flowers will grow more quickly. Learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting. HOW TO PLANT ZINNIAS Space plants 4 to 24 inches apart, depending on variety. (Many common varieties are planted 6 inches apart within the row and 2 feet in between rows.) See back of seed packet for variety-specific advice. Sow zinnia seeds only about ¼-inch deep. You’ll see zinnia seedlings in only 4 to 7 days for most varieties, though it will be anywhere from several weeks to a couple months before blooms appear (depending on planting site and climate). When seedlings reach three inches tall, thin them so that they’re 6 to 18 inches apart to maximize air circulation. This reduces the chance of powdery mildew developing. CARE HOW TO CARE FOR ZINNIAS Maintain moderate soil moisture and fertilize lightly to maximize growth and blooms. After zinnias flower, cut off the old flowers (a process called “deadheading”) to encourage more flowers to form. Zinnias are annuals and will die with the first hard frost of fall. If you want them to reseed, let the last flowers of the season mature fully and scatter their seeds.WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail.
