Growing Zinnia Zahara Starlight Rose
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.
