Zinnias come up quick here, but not until the weather is hot enough. For example, this year they went out mid May, but didn't come up for two weeks. After they emerged, the next sown seed came up in three days.

I tried starting some inside a few years back but the seed was in poor shape to begin with. The few that came up and were transplanted were quickly matched by the direct sown. I haven't bothered since. Honestly I'm not much for flowers - they don't taste that great - but zinnias are pretty nice when they come in.
