Zinnia Zone
Let your roots grow, literally.
Welcome to the wild side of the windowsill.
​​
​
You’re holding a tiny bag of possibility—zinnia seeds straight from the Pretty Bird sun patch. These bold, cheerful blooms are easy to grow and love the Florida sun. Whether you’ve got a garden, a patio pot, or just a patch of dirt, you’ve got what it takes.
​
Let’s grow something gorgeous together.
how to grow
-
Sprinkle your seeds into loosened soil, about ¼ inch deep.
-
No fancy tools needed—a spoon, your finger, or the end of a comb works great.
-
Give them some space. They’ll want to stretch their wings.
love + light
​
-
Zinnias are full-sun sunbathers.
-
The more light they get, the bigger and brighter the blooms.
-
They don’t mind the heat (sound familiar?).
watering wisdom
-
Let the soil dry a bit between waterings—no soggy roots here.
-
Water at the base, not the leaves. These girls prefer a root refresh.
-
Deep watering once or twice a week is plenty.
snip + show off
​​
-
Sprouts show up in about a week. Blooms arrive in 6–8 weeks.
-
Snipping old blooms encourages new ones—just like trimming ends keeps your hair healthy.
-
Keep them going by staying consistent with sun and water.
-
Arrange and enjoy your homegrown bouquet like it’s a fresh blowout for your dining room.
