Zinnias are fast, heat loving, and about as easy as flowers get, and butterflies cannot stay away from them. How & when to plant Sow directly after the last frost when the soil is warm, 1/4 inch deep and 9 to 12 inches apart in full sun, or start indoors 4 weeks earlier. Seedlings appear in 4 to 7 days. Sow every few weeks until midsummer for a steady supply of fresh plants. Our Dahlia Flowered Mix zinnia growing guide has more. Growing & care Zinnias want full sun, warm weather, and average, well-drained soil. Water at the base rather than over the leaves to discourage mildew, and give plants good air circulation. Pinch young plants once for more branching, and cut or deadhead constantly; the more you cut, the more they bloom. Harvest Cut stems when the flower is fully open and passes the wiggle test, meaning the stem stays stiff when you shake it. Strip the lower leaves and change the vase water often for a week or more of color. Let a few heads dry on the plant if you want to save seed. Benefits & uses Dahlia Flowered Mix fills buckets and vases all summer, feeds butterflies and bees, and gives a bright backdrop to any border. It is one of the most rewarding flowers a beginner can grow.
