What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Zinnias are heat-loving plants that thrive in the warm Canadian summer but require careful timing during the spring.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct sow in late May once the soil is thoroughly warmed. Avoid planting too early, as cool, damp soil can cause seed rot. Barely cover the seed with soil.
-
Sow Indoors (Optional): Start in mid-March using peat pots or Jiffy-7s to minimize root disturbance. Sow 6 mm deep and maintain a temperature of 22°C.
-
Germination: Under ideal conditions, sprouts will appear in 5–10 days.
-
Growing On: Once germinated, grow at a cooler 15°C before hardening off and transplanting outdoors in late May.
-
Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to 35 cm apart to allow for proper airflow and the plant’s large mature size.
-
Care: Choose a sunny site with well-drained organic soil. Consistent deadheading of old blooms will encourage the plant to continue producing its unique lime-green flowers until the first frost.
