How to Grow
It is often recommended to grow Zinnia from seed right in the garden, as they do not like to be transplanted and often don't thrive when this is done. When grown from seed however, they will grow very quickly in the right conditions. When Zinnia seedlings reach about 3 inches tall, it is best to thin them so that they’re 6 to 18 inches apart. This maximizes air circulation and reduces the chance of mildew developing.

Zinnia (Zinnia Hybrida Star Orange) - Graceful zinnia plants covered with star shaped flowers. Attracts bees and butterflies to your flower garden. Zinnias are known for their drought and heat tolerance even when planted in full sun applications. This variety grows approximately 14 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Space 8 - 10 inches apart to avoid overcrowding plants.
Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, and attract butterflies to the garden. They make an excellent cut flower as the more you cut, the more flowers you get! They thrive in the sun and heat of summer, only asking for well-drained soil. When cutting the blooms for the vase it is best to trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, the foliage does not age well.
