Any interruption to this dark period can delay or prevent the plant from flowering. Watering & Soil. Keep the soil moderately moist at all times.

If you wish to start growing zinnia plants from seeds indoors, plant the seeds in peat pots, poo pots (pots made from cow dung) or other biodegradable containers that can be planted directly into the garden later. Start seeds four to six weeks before the last frost date in your area. Zinnias begin to show growth outdoors when temperatures are above 50 F. (10 C). Space the seeds for growing zinnia plants properly, usually several inches to a couple of feet apart, depending on the size of the mature plant.
