When to Grow

Plant outdoors after the last spring frost or start seeds indoors about 4 weeks before this date. This variety requires warm soil, ideally between 75 to 80°F, for optimal germination. Check local frost dates to determine the best planting time​.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, and make sure that the soil is lightly moist during germination. Oklahoma Salmon Zinnias need sunlight to germinate, so cover them only lightly. Space plants 9 to 12 inches apart for good airflow and optimal growth​. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots or other means to minimize root disturbance when transplanting​.

How to Grow

Water as needed, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid mildew. Regular deadheading and cutting encourage repeat blooming, which makes them ideal for cut flower arrangements.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow the flowerhead containing the seeds to mature and dry on the plant.
  • Clip off the flowerhead and place it in a paper bag or other container.
  • Working over the top of another clean, opened container, rub the flowerheads between the palms to break them apart.
