PLANT CARE

• Maintain moderate soil moisture and fertilize lightly to maximize growth and blooms.

• After zinnias flower, cut off the old flowers (a process called “deadheading”) to encourage more flowers to form.

• Zinnias are annuals and will die with the first hard frost of fall. If you want them to reseed, let the last flowers of the season mature fully and scatter their seeds.
