  • Sunlight: Zinnia 'Giant Cactus Rose' thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Well-drained soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining, as Zinnias are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions. Amending the soil with organic matter can enhance its quality.
  • Spring: Plant Zinnia 'Giant Cactus Rose' in the spring after the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.
  • Start with seeds: Sow Zinnia 'Giant Cactus Rose' seeds directly into the prepared soil. Space the seeds about 6-12 inches apart to allow for their mature size.
  • Lightly cover seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil, but do not bury them too deeply. Zinnia seeds require light to germinate.
  • Moderate watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination and early growth stages. Once established, Zinnias are relatively drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering.
  • Balanced fertilizer: Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in the spring and again during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for robust growth.
  • Deadheading: To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers regularly. This helps the plant put its energy into producing new blooms.
  • Generally pest and disease-resistant: Zinnia 'Giant Cactus Rose' is not highly susceptible to pests or diseases. Proper spacing and air circulation can help prevent issues like mildew.
  • This annual flower is relatively low-maintenance once established. Regular deadheading and maintaining well-drained soil are the primary considerations.
