Growing Heirloom California Giant Mix Zinnia Flower Garden Seeds

How to Grow California Giant Mix Zinnias from Seed

Zinnia seeds are a full sun summer annual best if planted directly outdoors after the final frost or around Mothers Day. Zinnia has a wildflower like hardiness and can be broadcasted openly or sown in traditional rows. For traditional planting, plant 2-3 seeds .5" deep per hole and thin starts early to reduce legginess. Zinnia seeds germinate in 4-7 days and should bloom in about 60 days. Keep watered and well-drained.

Zinnia seeds are best if sown directly outdoors. Mature California Giant Zinnias can reach up to 4' tall and more than 1' wide, which may be a bit excessive for indoor gardening. For earlier blossoms, start seeds indoors 5-7 weeks before transplanting outside.

Water the soil directly to avoid wetting the foliage, as it can cause mold and powdery mildew. Do not underestimate their height and plan your garden accordingly, as California Giants could quickly shadow a garden for the season. Early watering and weeding will generally alleviate most problems, as the California Giant Zinnias are a vigorous summer annual. Pyrethrin stops most insects and pests.
