Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Sow seeds indoors in trays or pots 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost. Zinnias are very cold sensitive, so wait until all danger of frost has passed before planting outside. Zinnias can also be direct-seeded into the garden once weather is consistently warm.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Use the “wiggle test”: Grab the stem about 8 in down from the flower and gently shake it. If the stem is droopy or bends, don’t cut. If the stem is stiff and remains upright, it is ready to harvest. Do not put in the cooler. Zinnias are notorious for making their water murky. To combat this, add a few drops of bleach to the water. Expect a vase life of 7 days.  Due to open/cross pollination flowers may not be 100% true to the parent type.  Expect to find a few new fun finds in your seed mix.  If you have a few favourites in your mix of flowers save your seed and plant them the following spring to create your own special zinnia flowers.
