4” Zinnia “Profusion Mix” Flower

Zinnias are easy-to-care-for, vibrant flowers that add a burst of color to any garden. Here's a simple care guide for them:

1. Sunlight: Zinnias thrive in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

2. Soil: Plant zinnias in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. They prefer a pH level of 5.5 to 7.5.

3. Watering: Water zinnias regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to powdery mildew.

4. Spacing: Space plants about 6 to 18 inches apart, depending on the variety, to ensure good air circulation.

5. **Deadheading**: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.

6. Fertilizing**: Fertilize zinnias lightly with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season
7. Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat as needed with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good airflow to prevent mildew.

With these simple steps, your zinnias should flourish beautifully!
