Zinnia Seeds are sold by weight (0.5g, 1g etc.). Therefore, seed count may vary by ~10%.

A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75oF (21-24oC). Harden-off & transplant out after last frost. Do not allow plants to become root bound & avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.

Pinching of initial bud or bloom & subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching & bloom production. LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun. PLANT SPACING: 6-9". HARDINESS ZONES: Annual.
