Growing Non-GMO Peppermint Stick Mixture Zinnia Flower Seeds

Zinnias can be started indoors one month before the last frost for earliest blooms. Transplant to a container or flower bed once two sets of true leaves have been established. Otherwise, sow them directly in the garden bed or field after the final frost of the spring when the soil has warmed to roughly 72°F. Cover the seeds lightly and soak the top inch of the soil with a mister. Keep in mind that seeds germinate best at 70-80°F. Established zinnias thrive in drought but may require a bit of additional water to help them get going; ensure the soil and seedlings dry out between irrigations. Zinnias do not do well in overly wet soils, but do thrive in drier conditions.

Peppermint Stick Mixture Zinnias bloom all summer and will expire at the first hard frost at the end of the growing season. They are very persistent and may produce new blooms into December in some areas. Expect them to reseed; however, the seeds may not survive harsh winters. If you wish to prevent reseeding, cut the flower heads after blooming and vacate the total plant before the seeds start to develop. In zones 8 and above, seeds can also be sown in autumn for winter blooms.

Stories From Our Gardeners

"My biggest tip for zinnias is to watch out for aphids. If you notice some appearing, blast the foliage with water frequently until they are gone. You have to check the leaves every day if you know your garden is susceptible. Don’t be afraid to get up close and personal! You’ll be sad if you don’t and get an infestation."
