in nearly every shade, and they flower nonstop from summer to frost. They are one of the best cut flowers a beginner can grow, and butterflies simply cannot stay away. Who it's for Perfect for beginners, cut-flower gardeners, and pollinator lovers. Zinnias are fast, tough, and heat-loving, so they reward almost anyone with a sunny spot, and the more you cut them, the more they bloom. They are a wonderful, cheerful first flower to grow with kids. How & when to plant Sow zinnia seeds directly after your last frost, once the soil is warm, planting them about a quarter inch deep in full sun. They grow fast, with seedlings appearing in about 5 to 10 days. Thin or space the plants about 6 to 18 inches apart, depending on the variety, giving the larger types more room. See our Zinnia growing guide for more. Growing & care Zinnias love heat and sun and ask for little else. Water at the base to keep the leaves dry, give them good airflow, and deadhead or cut regularly to keep the blooms coming. They are annuals that flower right up to the first frost, filling the garden with color all season. Harvest Zinnias are made for the vase. Cut the stems when the flowers are fully open, snipping often, and the plants will respond by producing even more blooms. Leave a few flowers at the end of the season if you would like to save seed. Benefits & uses Zinnias are a cutting-garden staple, bringing armloads of long-lasting color indoors and out. Their bright, open flowers are a favorite of butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, and a single planting can fill borders, beds, and bouquets from midsummer to frost.
