Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Zinnias thrive in well-draining, moderately fertile soil and full sun; water at the base to keep foliage dry and allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Planting & Growing: Sow outdoors after the last frost when soil is warm (around 70°F), or start indoors 3–4 weeks earlier; space Thumbelina plants 6–8" apart. Pinch at 4–6" tall and deadhead spent blooms to encourage compact, continuous flowering.
Harvest & Storage: For bouquets, cut when blooms are fully open and stems pass the “wiggle test,” then place immediately in clean water for a 5–7 day vase life. To save seed, let a few flower heads dry on the plant, then dry thoroughly and store in a cool, dark, airtight container.
