Plant Information
When
the “Pumila” mix of Zinnias was introduced with the name “Cut
and Come Again Zinnias” it created a sensation, since that common name
thrilled gardeners. Fact is, they’re all so easy, and so long blooming, any
Zinnia will perform about the same. They’ll all “come again” if you
cut the fading flowers.
Easy!
Easy! Why everybody loves Zinnias: Probably no plant can give you more color
for less work. It’s because the zinnia is one of the easiest plants to grow
from seed (any child can do it, and many do!), they’ll give you every color but
blue, and they bloom all season up until frost. Can you think of another flower
that does all that?
How
to grow them: Good full sun is really all that’s required, although some of the
newer hybrids will even bloom in partial shade. As for water, they don’t need
much, since they’re from hot desert-like habitats. Soil? Almost any soil will
do, but they prefer fast-draining gritty soil, if you have that available.
Zinnia
seeds are perfect for starting indoors to have bloom early. But be sure you
wait until every frost is gone, and the soil has warmed up a bit before setting
them out. They’re super-sensitive to frost–after all, these plants are from
frost-free regions, and don’t like cold soil. If you’d rather, you can just
wait until spring arrives, and sow them outside. They’re very undemanding.
Because
of that, these flowers have been staples among major color-makers in gardens
since your great-grandmother’s time, and more and more beautiful zinnias are
created for our gardens almost every year.

How to Grow Zinnias
If you’re looking for a prolific
annual flower for gardens and bouquets in a wide range of colors, try zinnias.
The plants range from low growing, to tall and statuesque. Flowers come in all
the colors of the rainbow depending on the variety. Group them in a flower or
vegetable garden for color and to attract bees and butterflies.
When
& Where to Plant Zinnias
Light: Zinnias grow and flower best
in full sun. They can flower in part shade, especially in warmer climates with
afternoon shade, but they may be more susceptible to disease and have fewer
flowers.
Soil: Zinnias grow best on fertile,
well-drained soils high in organic matter. Well-drained soil is important
because zinnia seedlings can be prone to rotting in cool, wet soils.
Spacing: Plant zinnia seeds a few
inches apart in rows or clumps. Thin to 8 to 18 inches apart, depending upon
the variety, once the plant has grown four leaves.
Planting: Plant zinnias in spring
after all danger of frost has passed, around the same time you’d plant
tomatoes. Zinnias are easy to grow directly-seeded into the garden. For sooner
blooms, start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost date.
How
to Grow Zinnias Throughout the Season
Growth Habit: Zinnias come in a wide
variety of plant sizes. Some are low-growing. 1-foot tall plants with a
mounding habit. Others are 3-foot tall plants with big flowers. Plant the right
variety for your usage and that your space allows. Mounding varieties have
smaller flowers and produce more ornamental looking plants. Taller varieties
are often used for cutting and are best grown in rows or clumps for a better
visual effect.
Staking: These flowers have sturdy
stems, so do not need staking.
Watering: Zinnias need moist soil to
grow their best. This is especially true of young plants. Water deeply a few
times a week so the soil stays moist 6 to 8 inches deep. Don’t overwater
because zinnias can also succumb to rot diseases especially on wet, clay soils.
Once established, zinnias a relatively drought tolerant.
Fertilizing: Amend the soil before
planting zinnias with compost. When flowers start to form, side dress with an
organic 5-5-5 fertilizer to get more and bigger blossoms.
Mulching: Mulch zinnias once they
are established with a 2 inch layer of straw or bark mulch. This will help
preserve soil moisture and prevent weed growth.
Trimming & Pruning: Deadhead
(trim) spent flowers regularly to promote more flowering and to keep the plant
tidy. To create bushier plants on tall varieties, pinch the growth tip of the
plant when young. This will stimulate more side branching, a shorter plant, and
more flowers. However, it may delay flowering, especially in cool summer areas.
