Zinnias are not frost-hardy and do not like low temperatures, so we recommend not rushing the sowing. Expensive Zinnia varieties (Zinderella, Cupcakes, Queen, ...) are better started in seed trays and then transplanted to beds; cheaper varieties (Super Yoga, Cresto, ...) can be sown straight into the bed.
In both cases, however, only after the last frost (mid-May). Really wait until the risk of frost has passed and it has warmed 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 have learned not to rush with Zinnias and transplant them out comfortably in late May/early June.
For starting in seed trays, sow 1 seed per cell and cover with 2-3 cm of substrate. We recommend choosing the largest possible plug tray; we use plug tray 60, as Zinnias are very sensitive regarding their root ball, so give them plenty of space.
With Zinnias, definitely do not delay transplanting; ideally, 4-5 weeks from sowing, pop them into the bed. If you delay transplanting and let seedlings overgrow, 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 promotes branching and will ultimately create a much denser plant, from which you will also harvest more stems. To save work, pinch Zinnias right in the seed tray before transplanting.

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.
Select a spot with the most sunlight for Zinnias. Plant in loamy, sandy, humus-rich soil with good drainage.
If there is one universal tip for Zinnias, it is — try to avoid any stress. Low temperatures, disturbed root ball, irregular watering, or few nutrients, so don't forget to fertilize regularly.
We recommend support; it can be a net that Zinnias will grow through or just string 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.
