For best results, sow Zinnia 'Dahlia Flowered Mixed' seeds indoors from February to April. Use seed trays filled with moist compost and cover the seeds lightly with soil. Keep the trays in a warm place until germination occurs, usually within 7-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and continue growing them on until all risk of frost has passed. Then, harden off the plants before transplanting them into a sunny, well-drained spot in your garden, spacing them 30cm apart.
Zinnias will begin to bloom in July and will continue flowering until the first frosts. The blooms are perfect for cutting and make beautiful additions to fresh flower arrangements. Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms and extend the flowering period. Zinnias are generally low-maintenance, but regular watering during dry periods and feeding with a balanced fertiliser will help keep them thriving throughout the summer. Enjoy the vibrant displays of Zinnia 'Dahlia Flowered Mixed' in your garden, perfect for creating eye-catching borders and stunning cut flower arrangements.
