Late spring to early summer (May to June) is optimal for sowing Zinnia elegans California Giants mixed seeds in the UK. Ensure soil temperatures are consistently above 18°C (65°F) for successful germination.

Expect germination to occur within 7 to 14 days after sowing, typically in late spring to early summer (May to June) when soil temperatures are warm and consistent.

Transplant seedlings into their final growing positions around mid to late summer (July to August) when they have developed true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.

Booming

Zinnia elegans California Giants mixed typically begins blooming in mid-summer (July) and continues to produce flowers abundantly until the first frost in early to mid-autumn (September to October).

When transplanting seedlings or sowing seeds directly, space them approximately 30 to 45 centimeters (12 to 18 inches) apart to allow for ample air circulation and room for growth.

Plant seeds at a depth of approximately 0.6 to 1.3 centimeters (¼ to ½ inch) in well-drained soil.

Zinnias thrive in rich, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. Incorporating organic matter, such as compost, can improve soil structure and fertility.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination and establishment phases. Once established, water zinnias regularly, providing approximately 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of water per week during dry spells.

Provide zinnias with full sun, ensuring they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering. Zinnias may tolerate partial shade but will produce fewer blooms.

Monitor for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew. Use organic pest control methods or targeted insecticides as needed, and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
