Zinnias are not frost-hardy and do not like low temperatures, so we recommend not rushing with sowing. More expensive zinnia varieties (Zinderella, Cupcakes, Queen, ...) are better started indoors in a seed tray and then transplanted to flowerbeds, while cheaper varieties (Super Yoga, Cresto, ...) can be sown directly into the flowerbed.
In both cases, however, only after the last frost (mid-May). Really wait until the risk of frost has passed and it warms up a bit. Low temperatures will only stress zinnias unnecessarily and they won't move for the following weeks. At temperatures below 10 °C, zinnia leaves just turn yellow. So we learned not to rush with zinnias and transplant them out comfortably in late May/early June.
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 seed tray 60, as zinnias are very sensitive about their root ball, so give them enough space.
With zinnias, definitely do not delay transplanting, ideally 4 - 5 weeks from sowing, pop them into the flowerbed. If you delay transplanting and let the seedlings become rootbound, you will disturb the root ball during transplanting and this shock can cause a double-flowered plant to revert to a single one.

Pinching zinnias encourages branching and ultimately creates a much denser plant, from which you harvest more stems. To save work, pinch zinnias right in the seed tray and transplant only afterwards.

We plant zinnias in the flowerbed 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 for zinnias with the most sun exposure. Plant in loamy, sandy, humus-rich soil with good drainage.
If there is one universal piece of advice for 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 a net that the zinnias grow through or just string around the perimeter of the flowerbed.
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.
