Zinnias are a very easy flower to grow from seed. Direct sow into prepared beds if your season is long enough. You can also start them 3-4 weeks before last frost to get a head start on the season. Wait until temperatures are warmer before transplanting outside. Zinnias do not benefit from sowing when temperatures are colder. We recommend night temperatures averaging 10 degrees Celsius. When watering throughout the season, avoid over-head watering as zinnias can be susceptible to powdery mildew.
