Dahlia Flowered Zinnia Seeds by SeedsGo

Zinnias are popular garden flowers that come in a wide range of colors and shapes, and they can withstand hot summer temperatures, making them easy to grow from seeds. These fast-growing and long-blooming flowers are excellent for pollinator plantings and are especially attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

To grow zinnias, sow the seeds outdoors in rich, moist, well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed and daytime temperatures are above 55-60°F. Cover the seeds with a minimal amount of soil. Once the seedlings reach 3-4 inches tall, thin them to one plant every 10-12 inches.

Zinnias are prone to mildew, so it's important to water them carefully at the bottom of the plant to avoid wetting the stems or leaves. These flowers thrive with a bit of neglect, so let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. In colder climates, you can start the seeds indoors 4 weeks before the last frost and then transplant them outside after hardening.

Zinnias are open-pollinated, non-GMO, and have premium flower seeds. They are excellent for pollinator plantings and are especially attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. These "cut and come again" type of flowering plants yield multiple cuts over the season, and they will continue to form new branches and flowers all season long.

Shaped like dahlias, zinnias make good cut flowers. Cut zinnias can last between 7 and 12 days, making them a great choice for fresh arrangements and bouquets.

Overall, zinnias are a versatile and low-maintenance garden flower that can add bold, vibrant colors to any outdoor space. Their ability to attract pollinators and their long-lasting cut flowers make them a popular choice among gardeners.
