GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
Zinnia seeds are perfect for starting indoors to have bloom early. But be sure you wait until every frost is gone, and the soil has warmed up a bit before setting them out.
Please note - Will germinate with the temperature +20-25C, so we recommend to sow (February - end of April) inside in pots.
They're super-sensitive to frost-after all, these plants are from frost-free regions, and don't like cold soil. If you'd rather, you can just wait until spring arrives, and sow them outside. They're very undemanding.
In spring or late fall, choose a sunny spot and remove existing growth. Scatter seeds evenly and compress into base soil. Do not cover.
After sprouting, keep seedlings moist until they are about 15-20 cm tall. After that, it will prefer minimal care.
