Sow outdoors in rich, moist, well-drained soil, after the danger of frost has passed and daytime temperatures are above 55-60o F. Cover with a minimal amount of soil. Once seedlings reach 3-4 inches tall, thin to one plant every 10-12 inches. Zinnias are prone to mildew, so water carefully at the bottom of the plant to avoid wetting stems or leaves. Zinnias will thrive with a bit of neglect, so let the soil dry out at bit between waterings.

Encourage more Zinnias by deadheading whenever flowers look tired or worn. Just cut stems diagonally, above a fresh set of leaves, and a new bloom should grow.

In colder climates, start inside 4 weeks before the last frost and transplant outside after hardening.
