Zinnias are not frost-hardy and do not like low temperatures, so we recommend not rushing with sowing. More expensive types of Zinnias (Zinderella, Cupcakes, Queen, ...) are better started in seed trays and then transplanted into beds; cheaper types (Super Yoga, Cresto, ...) can be sown directly into the bed.
In both cases, however, only after the last frosts (mid-May). Truly wait until the risk of frost has passed and it has warmed up a bit. Low temperatures will just stress Zinnias unnecessarily and they won't move for the following weeks. At temperatures below 10 °C, Zinnia leaves just turn yellow. So we have learned not to rush with Zinnias and transplant them out comfortably in late May/early June.
For starting in trays, sow 1 seed per cell and cover with 2 - 3 cm of substrate. We recommend choosing the largest possible tray; we use a 60-cell tray, as Zinnias are very sensitive to root ball disturbance, so give them plenty of space.
For Zinnias, certainly do not delay transplanting, ideally 4 - 5 weeks from sowing, pop them into the bed. If you delay transplanting and let the seedlings become overgrown, you disturb the root ball during transplanting and this shock can cause a double-flowered plant to revert to a single one.

Pinching Zinnias promotes branching and will ultimately create a much bushier plant for you, from which you will harvest more stems. To save yourself work, pinch Zinnias straight in the seed tray and only then transplant.

We plant Zinnias in the bed at a spacing of 20 cm apart. Do not try to plant Zinnias closer together, as you then increase the risk of fungal diseases.
Choose a spot with as much sun as possible for Zinnias. Plant in loamy, sandy, humus-rich soil with good drainage.
If one universal piece of advice applies to Zinnias, it is — try to avoid any stress. Low temperatures, disturbed root ball, irregular watering, or lack of nutrients, so don't forget to fertilize regularly.
We recommend support; it can be netting that the Zinnias will grow through or just twine around the perimeter of the bed.
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.
