The listing, Dwarf Zinnia seeds has ended.

This listing if for 30 seeds.

Zinnias can be direct sown or transplanted into the garden. In warmer areas with long growing seasons, sow zinnia seeds directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Sow into well-prepared soil free of large clumps. Lightly cover seeds with 1/4 inch of soil since zinnia seeds need light to germinate. Keep soil moist until plants are established.

In colder regions with shorter growing seasons, sow seeds indoors about 4 to 5 weeks before the last average frost. Make sure soil temperature is kept at 70 to 80 degrees F. for good germination. Use a high quality seed starting soil mixture. Don't use garden soil as it's usually too heavy and can cause disease problems indoors.

Zinnias don't like being transplanted. Sow seeds in peat pots that can be directly transplanted into the garden. Place zinnia seeds on soil surface and lightly press into the surface. Cover with 1/4 inch of soil. Lightly water and cover with clear plastic or glass to keep seeds from drying out. Seeds should germinate in 4 to 7 days. Once up, remove cover and keep soil evenly moist.
