How to Grow
Zinnias are a popular
flower and add a beautiful burst of color to a bouquet. Zinnias grow in many
different colors and shapes and can bloom with flowers up to 6 inches in
diameter.
Before Planting: Zinnias
are a warm-weather flower, but they don’t like to be transplanted. Plant them
directly outdoors when air and soil are 70 degrees or warmer.
Planting: Plant seeds
1/4 inch deep and space them depending on how you want them to grow in the
garden.
Watering: Water Zinnias
an inch a week, but make sure you don’t overwater because Zinnias are
susceptible to mildew. When watering, water at the base of the plant and don’t
get water on the leaves or stems.
Fertilizer: Work compost
into the ground where you will be planting Zinnias early in the season so the
compost has time to fertilize the soil.
Days to Maturity:
Zinnias will begin to bloom in 60-70 days after being planted.
Harvesting: To use in a
bouquet, cut the Zinnias above the leaves and place in a vase. More Zinnias
will bloom on the stem.
Tips: To produce bushier
Zinnias, pinch off the top of the plants when they are young
