Cultivation method:
Sow directly outdoors after all risk of frost for a vibrant bloom 6-8 weeks after sowing. For an earlier start, sow indoors in early April. Press seeds into the soil uncovered as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 20°C (70°F) for rapid germination in 5-10 days.
Start seedlings under artificial light before hardening them off and transplanting them outdoors in late May, spacing plants 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) apart. Zinnias prefer well-drained soil and a sunny location, but they can also thrive in partially shaded areas in regions with hot summers.
After the first bloom, prune the plants lightly to encourage a new flush of blooms and prolong their presence in your garden. This vibrant mix of giant zinnias will transform your outdoor spaces into a festival of vibrant color all summer long.
Giant zinnias, a must-have for impressive borders and vibrant bouquets!
