Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Zinnia is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil is loamy and sandy and has a ph of between 5.5 and 7.0 as Common zinnia is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

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

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