HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil has warmed, pressing into the surface of the soil surface since this plant needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs with 14-21 days. Do not attempt to start the seed indoors, since these creeping zinnia plants do not respond well to being transplanted.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant grows quickly and needs little care. Mature creeping zinnia plants tolerate heat and drought well; do not over-water. This plant resists deer, and makes an excellent container plant or ground cover.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flower petals fall from the head, the center cone will begin to develop seed. Remove the seed heads as soon as the stem beneath the cone begins to turn dry and brown. Spread the seed heads out to dry away from direct sunlight, then separate the small creeping zinnia seeds from the stems by rubbing them lightly. Store the cleaned Sanvitalia Procumbens seeds in a dry, cool place.

Wow fast delivery. Planted some of the seeds in an egg carton but too early for them to sprout. Will be planting them directly into the garden as soon as the weather warms a bit more here in the Pacific NW. Thank you for the fast service.
