Growing Notes
- Direct sow into warm, prepared soil where possible, as zinnias dislike rough transplanting.
- In frost-prone regions, start seed under cover and transplant gently once conditions are safe.
- Water deeply, then allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
- Avoid overhead watering where possible and keep plants well spaced to reduce mildew pressure.
- Deadhead or pick flowers often to keep new buds forming through the warm season.
