Bupleurum rotundifolium
Zinnias are not frost-hardy and do not like low temperatures, so we recommend not rushing with the sowing. For more expensive Zinnia varieties (Zinderella, Cupcakes, Queen, ...), it is better to start them in seed trays and then transplant them into beds, while cheaper varieties (Super Yoga, Cresto, ...) can be sown directly into the bed.
In both cases, wait until after the last frosts (mid-May). Truly wait until the risk of frost has passed and the weather has warmed up a bit. Low temperatures only unnecessarily stress the Zinnias, and they will not grow at all for the following weeks. At temperatures below 10 °C, Zinnia leaves will simply turn yellow. We have therefore learned not to rush with Zinnias and we transplant them outdoors comfortably at the end of May or beginning of June.
STARTING SEEDS
When starting in a seed tray, sow 1 seed per cell and cover with 2–3 cm of substrate. We recommend choosing the largest possible seed tray; we use a 60-cell tray, as Zinnias are very sensitive regarding their root ball, so give them plenty of space.
Be sure not to delay transplanting Zinnias; ideally, get them into the bed 4–5 weeks after sowing. If you delay transplanting and let the seedlings become overgrown, you may damage the root ball during the process, and this shock can cause a double-flowered plant to revert to a single-flowered one.
PINCHING
Pinching Zinnias encourages branching and will ultimately create a much denser plant, from which you will also harvest more stems. To save yourself some work, pinch the Zinnias directly in the seed tray before transplanting.
SPACING
Plant Zinnias in the bed at a spacing of 20 cm apart. Do not try to plant them closer to each other, as you will increase the risk of fungal diseases.
Choose a location for Zinnias with as much sun as possible. Plant in loamy, sandy, humus-rich soil with good drainage.
If there is one universal piece of advice for Zinnias, it is this: try to avoid any stress. This includes low temperatures, damaged root balls, irregular watering, or lack of nutrients, so don't forget to fertilize regularly.
SUPPORT
We recommend support; this can be netting that the Zinnias will grow through or just string around the perimeter of the bed.
HARVESTING
Harvest flowers in the morning when the plants are hydrated. Choose flowers with firm stems—when you shake the stem, the area below the flower must not feel "rubbery" or bend. Also, check the center of the flower; the less the yellow centers are bloomed, the longer they will last in a vase (around a week).
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
