Growing tips
<p>Direct sow seeds about 1 cm deep, spacing 15-30 cm apart depending on variety; zinnias dislike root disturbance so sow in place or in biodegradable cells. Germination takes <strong>5-10 days</strong> in warm soil. Pinch young plants once for bushier growth and deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering. First flowers appear in <strong>6-8 weeks</strong>, continuing for months with regular picking.</p>
