Growing Notes:
Use seed-starting trays or small pots with moist seed-starting mix.

Water gently after planting, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a warm soil temperature
Place trays or pots in a warm, sunny location or under grow lights. Adjust grow lights to be 2-3 inches above seedlings as they grow.
Zinnia seeds germinate in 7-10 days.
Thin seedlings to one strong seedling per cell or pot by snipping weaker ones at the soil level. Keep the remaining seedling healthy and growing.
Space transplanted zinnias 6-12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly and apply rich compost/manure every 4-6 weeks.
