Zinnias are not frost-hardy and do not like low temperatures, so we recommend not rushing the sowing process. For more expensive Zinnia varieties (Zinderella, Cupcakes, Queen, etc.), it is better to start them in seedling trays and then transplant them into garden beds, while cheaper varieties (Super Yoga, Cresto, etc.) 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 stress Zinnias unnecessarily, and they will not grow at all for the following weeks. At temperatures below 10°C, Zinnia leaves will simply turn yellow. We have learned not to rush with Zinnias, so we transplant them outdoors as late as the end of May or the beginning of June. STARTING SEEDLINGS: When starting in a seedling tray, sow 1 seed per cell and cover with 2 - 3 cm of substrate. We recommend choosing the largest seedling tray possible; we use a 60-cell tray, as Zinnias are very sensitive regarding their root ball, so give them plenty of space. Do not delay transplanting Zinnias; ideally, move them to the garden bed 4 - 5 weeks after sowing. If you delay transplanting and let the seedlings overgrow, you will disrupt 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 result in a much denser plant from which you will harvest more stems. To save yourself work, pinch the Zinnias while they are still in the seedling tray and then transplant them. SPACING: Plant Zinnias in the garden bed with 20 cm spacing between them. Do not try to plant Zinnias closer together, as this increases the risk of fungal diseases. Choose a spot 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, disturbed root balls, irregular watering, or lack of nutrients, so do not forget to fertilize regularly. SUPPORT: We recommend providing support; this can be a net that the Zinnias will grow through or simply a string around the perimeter of the bed.

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.
