GROWING ZINNIAS

HOW TO PLANT, GROW, AND CARE FOR ZINNIA
FLOWERS

Zinnias are one of the easiest
flowers to grow, as they grow quickly and bloom heavily. 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.

SEED STORING

1. Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location.
2. 
   Most seeds have a long shelf life, years even, but heat and moisture will cut
   that life short.
3. 
   Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house
   your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.
