Creeping Zinnia Care Must-Knows
Creeping zinnia grows best in average, well-drained soil and full sun. It will grow in part shade, but won’t flower as profusely as those plants growing in full sun. Creeping zinnia also tolerates a range of soil conditions—from dry, rocky soil to moderately moist soil rich in organic matter. Good drainage is essential. Plant creeping zinnia directly in the garden or in pots or hanging baskets, 1 to 2 weeks before the average last frost date. It does not transplant easily so don’t go to the extra work of starting it indoors in early spring. Water plants regularly as soon as they emerge to encourage a strong root system. Reduce watering after plants are established. Here’s how to make the perfect hanging basket.
