| Start Indoors | 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Transplant outdoors after last frost. Zinnias do not benefit from being planted early; wait for warmer weather. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date. |
| Special Care | Deadhead (remove spent blossoms) regularly to increase bloom production. Clip stems just above a leaf or stem junction for tidy, healthy plants. |
