How to Grow
Directly sow your Zinnia once spring has begun and the soil is already warmed. Your Zinnia should flower 5 - 6 weeks after its been sowed. It is also possible to plant your Zinnia while the weather is still chilly, if your area has a late coming warm spring. It will still grow just as well, but won't bloom until the weather is warm enough.
