We have two Xenia seeds that have grown into stalks. Will they flower and should we replant them outside?

These seeds were given to my kindergartener from his teacher and were planted in a little plastic cup. When they started to grow, I replanted them in a larger pot, and have kept them on my kitchen window sill which gets a lot of sunlight. We keep waiting for them to flower. Is there something we ought to be doing besides watering them? Should they be planted outside or stay inside?

If you are talking about Zinnias they are an annual plant and usually grow outdoors in full sunlight.


they require a good soil with sime mulch to keep them moist but not wet.


they usually flower in late summer to early autumn.


the flowers are like a daisy but sort of stiff and the leaves feel leathery to the touch.


I hope this helps
Reply:If you mean Zinnia, then it takes a few months to flower depending on the species - and if it grows to it's full height, 36" plus, then you'll want to plant it outside and it will bloom in late summer - collect the seeds in the fall and do it all over again! (but it's better to let nature grow this plant to establish it's root system)
