How to Care for the Plant

Water
Zinnias are very drought tolerant and don't usually need any supplemental watering. If your soil is poor, you can add some compost to give the plants a boost, but they will grow in even bad soil.
Pruning
You can deadhead zinnias for a longer blooming period, but it's not absolutely necessary. They may pause flowering for a while, but they'll start up again.
Fertilizer
Zinnias are easy-going plants, needing only occasional feeding with a well-balanced fertilizer.
