Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Oklahoma White zinnias grow best in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Deadhead regularly to encourage the production of fresh blooms. Choose a planting site that receives 6-8 hours of full sun every day.

When to Grow

Oklahoma White Zinnias can be sown outdoors after the last frost, or started indoors about 4 weeks earlier to extend the blooming season. They perform best when soil temperatures reach around 75-80 F.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 9-12 inches apart to allow for good airflow, which helps prevent powdery mildew. Oklahoma White zinnias grow to about 30-40 inches tall and require spacing for air circulation to keep them healthy. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots or other means to minimize root disturbance when transplanting​.

How to Grow

These zinnias need regular but moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent disease. Fertilizing lightly every 4-6 weeks supports abundant blooms. In hot climates, they tolerate partial shade but will still need plenty of sunlight to thrive.

How to Save
  • 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.
  • The seeds can be separated from the chaff by first screening and then winnowing.
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark place over winter.
