Using starter trays or small pots, press the Zinnia seeds into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss or sand. Keep soil slightly moist but not wet until germination occurs. Don't transplant the Zinnia Lilliput seedlings too soon. Harden them off for 10 days or so as they are sensitive to cold.

Or, after frost season has ended, directly sow Zinnia seeds outdoors in a prepared seedbed with loosened, weed free soil. Sow the Zinnia Lilliput seeds in rows 12 inches apart, spacing seeds every 4 inches. Thin the Zinnia seedlings to every 12 inches.
