Common zinnia 'Red Sprite'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Red Sprite is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.0 as Red Sprite likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Red Sprite about 21 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Red Sprite is a tender plant.
