For earlier flowering, start seedlings indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost and transplant when night temperatures are above 50°F . Choose well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, and a location in full sun for best flowering.
Cut off spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming and harvest zinnias when they are in full bloom for long-lasting, colorful bouquets.
