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. | |
