Hummingbirds will visit more regularly if you plant zinnias in certain areas. While various plants might attract hummingbirds to your garden, zinnias are great.
When growing zinnias from seeds, place them where they'll get plenty of sunlight. Zinnias need to be in direct sunlight to grow their best.
Also, they need space to grow, so don't plant them too close to one another. You'll need to plant them 4 to 24 inches apart, but the exact spacing depends on the specific variety of zinnias.
There are numerous zinnia varieties and they have different requirements, so always learn the best practices for the specific kind of zinnia you're growing.
When trying to attract hummingbirds and other pollinators, opt for varieties that produce a lot of nectar. The Tall State Fair, California Giant, Lilliput, and Zahara Zinnias are a few good options to consider.
You should aim to water zinnias regularly, but avoid overdoing it. Give zinnias time to dry and ensure that the soil doesn't get soaked. The flower needs to be in soil that drains well for the best results.
Also, remember to plant these annual flowers in late spring. The last frost should pass before you start planting. Since they'll die each year, harvest zinnia seeds after growing them.
