Growing Zinnia California Giants

Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.

Direct Sowing: Spring.

It is best to grow zinnia from seed, as they do not like to be transplanted. From seed, they will grow very quickly in the right conditions.
Do not seed until the last frost has passed.
Choosing a location that gets full sun is essential.
Zinnias are adaptable, but the ideal soil is nice and fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained.
Soil pH should be between 5.5 and 7.5. If soil is amended with compost, the flowers will grow more quickly.
Surface sow Zinnia Seeds seeds, then cover with a thin layer of soil and water well.
Germination can take 30 days or longer, so patience is required.
When seedlings reach 10cm in height, thin them so that they’re 15cm to 30cm apart to maximize air circulation.
Sow in succession for a longer flowering display.
