Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. Sow on the surface or just barely cover with seed starting mix, as zinnias need light to germinate. Maintain soil temperature between 70-80°F for reliable sprouting. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they develop true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Harden off seedlings over 7-10 days by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Transplant after your last frost date when soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Space plants 12 inches apart in all directions.
Direct sow seeds outdoors after your last frost date when soil temperature reaches 70°F or warmer. Scatter seeds on the soil surface, press lightly to make contact, and keep the soil moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart once they develop their first true leaves.
Pinching back the growing tips when plants reach 4-6 inches tall encourages bushier, more compact growth and increases flower production. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep flowers coming throughout the season. The naturally compact habit means minimal pruning is needed beyond these maintenance tasks.
