Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
In warm climates, zinnias should be seeded directly into the soil after any frost has passed, in cooler climates, seeds can be started indoors in germination trays.
"Whether seeding directly in beds or germination trays, zinnia seeds should be sown to a depth of a 1/4-inch into deep, loamy soil," she says. "The distance between seeds or seedlings in the beds should be about 6 inches apart for good airflow, and rows should be spaced 12 inches apart."
She adds that zinnia seeds can be sowed directly into 1 to 2 inches of organic mulch that will provide nutrients throughout the season as the mulch breaks down to form compost.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Cut your zinnias in the evening or in the morning when any overnight moisture has evaporated. Cut stems as long as possible, strip excess foliage, and place in cool water.
