Growing Non-GMO Profusion Series Zinnia Flower Seeds

Zinnias can be started indoors 5-8 weeks before the last frost for the earliest blooms. Transplant to a container or outdoors once two sets of true leaves have established. Otherwise, sow them directly in the garden bed or field after the last frost of the spring, when the soil has warmed to about 72 F. Cover the seeds lightly and mist them until soaked. Keep in mind that seeds germinate best at 70-80 F. Established zinnias thrive in drought conditions, but may require a bit of supplemental water to help them in the beginning; the soil and seedlings should dry between irrigations.

Profusion Series Zinnias bloom all summer and will expire at a hard frost. They are very persistent and may produce new blooms into November in some regions. Expect them to reseed; however, the seeds may not survive harsh winters. If you want to prevent reseeding, remove the flower heads after the bloom fades and dispose of the entire plant before the seeds start to develop. In zones 8+, seeds may be sown in the fall for winter color.

Harvesting Profusion Series Zinnia
