Zinnia Haageana Jazzy Mixture

When to Sow Jazzy Mixed Zinnia Seeds

March to May

Where to Sow

Into individual pots or module trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place at between 20-23°C (68-75°F). Do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 7-14 days. Later sowings can be made outdoors once the soil has warmed, 3mm (1/4") deep in drills 30cm (12") apart, in well cultivated weed free soil. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 30cm (12") apart.

What to do Next

When well grown, gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9-12") apart, taking care not to damage the root system. Best planted in well drained soil in full sun.
