Zinnias

Bold, long-lasting flowers in every color but blue. Great for pollinators and cut flower gardens.

• Zinnias are annuals in Minnesota.

• Sunlight: Full sun (6+ hours daily).

• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil.

• Transplanting: Plant at the same depth as in the pot when soil is consistently 60°F or warmer.

• Watering: Water at the base to avoid mildew; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.

• Fertilization: Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10).

• Other Tips: Deadhead regularly for more blooms; great for butterfly gardens.
