Zinnias are annuals, when flowering, deadheading any flowers that have died will encourage more to grow!.When established try not to water the leaves, water the base of the plant.

Zinnias may require support, so the use of flower netting staked 30cm above the ground will give them the support they need.Space between 15 - 30cm apart (depending on the variety) and rows 30 - 45cm apart.Zinnias are heat lovers, so plant in full sun with good air circulation, this will prevent them from getting powdery mildew.This will encourage stronger, taller stems and more flowers! Pinching out means taking the top 10cm off your seedling. Pinch out your zinnia seedlings when the are 30cm tall (3 true sets of leaves).Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.Transplant when they are young and if transplanting from regular pots try not to disturb the root system. Using peat pots (biodegradable pots) that can then be directly sown into the ground will help prevent transplant shock. If you live in a cooler climate, you will need to start them in a greenhouse environment.Zinnias don't like being transplanted, so if you live in a warmer climate sow Zinnia seeds direct where they will grow, germination should occur in 3-7 days depending on soil temperature. Zinnias are frost sensitive, so wait until the last frost has passed to plant.Gardeners across the world have fallen in love with Zinnia flowers, and the good news is they are really easy to grow from seed!
