When to Sow Zahara Sunburst Zinnia Seeds

March to May

Where to sow

Sow seeds into individual pots or module trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator or warm place at a temperature of between 20-23°C. Do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 7-14 days.

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.
