Cactus Mix Zinnia Planting Instructions:
| 1. When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil is warm, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. |
| 2. Preparation: Select a location with full sun (at least 6-8 hours) and rich, well-draining soil. |
| 3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. If direct sowing, thin seedlings once they are 3 inches tall to ensure good airflow. |
| 4. Care: Water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry and prevent mildew. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep the “flower factory” running all summer long! |
| 5. Pests and Diseases: Watch for aphids or powdery mildew. These zinnias are rugged and heat-hardy, thriving even when the summer sun is at its peak. |
