Growing Guide

Zinnias grow best in warm weather and thrive in sunny locations with well-drained soil. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, or started indoors for earlier blooms. Keep the soil lightly moist during germination, then water regularly as plants establish and begin active growth.

As plants mature, deadheading spent blooms can help encourage continued flowering through the season. Mardi Gras zinnia is a great choice for gardeners who want bright, easy-care flowers that perform well in beds, borders, and cutting gardens while also drawing in pollinators.
