Growing information
Days to germination: 3-5 days at 27-29°C
Sowing:
Transplant (recommended): Sow into 72-cell trays or your preferred seedling container 4 weeks before planting out. Cover the seed. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination, usually 5-7 days at 21-24°C. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing the roots too much, as transplant shock or other stress can cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period after stress.
Direct sow: Sow seed about 0.6 cm deep. Succession sow or plant every 2 weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching the initial bud or bloom, followed by regular deadheading, is recommended to encourage strong branching and more flower production. Zinnias are very sensitive to frost.
