  Sow zinnia seeds only about 1/4-inch deep.
  You’ll see zinnia seedlings in only 4 to 7 days for most varieties, though it will be anywhere from several weeks to a couple months before blooms appear (depending on planting site and climate).

1. Timing: Zinnias are warm-season annuals, so plant the seeds after the last frost date in your area when the soil has warmed up and the danger of frost has passed.
2. Prepare the soil: Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-draining soil. Remove any weeds or debris and loosen the soil to a depth of about 6 inches. Zinnias can tolerate a range of soil conditions but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0 to 7.5).
3. Sow the seeds: Scatter the Zinnia Dahlia Flowered Mixed seeds directly onto the prepared soil surface. You can sow them in rows or scatter them evenly across the area. Aim for a spacing of about 6 to 12 inches between plants, depending on the variety.
4. Lightly cover the seeds: Zinnia seeds require light to germinate, so only lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Avoid burying them too deeply.
5. Watering: After sowing the seeds, gently water the area to ensure the soil is evenly moist. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes around 7 to 10 days.
6. Thin the seedlings: Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall, thin them out to provide enough space for each plant to grow. Remove the weaker or overcrowded seedlings, leaving the healthiest and strongest ones with proper spacing.
7. Watering and care: Zinnias prefer regular watering, especially during dry spells. Provide about 1 inch of water per week, either through rainfall or supplemental watering. However, avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
8. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four to six weeks, following the package instructions. This helps promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
9. Deadheading and pruning: To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead (remove) faded flowers regularly. You can also consider pruning the plants to promote branching and bushiness, if desired.
10. Pest and disease control: Zinnias are generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for common issues like powdery mildew or aphid infestations. Treat any problems promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls.
11. Enjoy the blooms: Zinnia Dahlia Flowered Mixed typically starts blooming within 8 to 10 weeks from planting, and it will continue to produce a variety of colorful and dahlia-like flowers throughout the growing season. Feel free to cut the flowers for bouquets and arrangements, as they make excellent cut flowers.
