Heres what to do when you forget to pinch your zinnias

Oops I missed a few zinnias - they didn’t get pinched and now they’re setting on flower buds!
Pinch them now!! I know it feels rude and wrong, but that little zinnia plant can produce WAY more - much larger blooms with much longer stems if encouraged to. So cut the top off the plant, right above a leaf set and watch it fill out, and get bigger!
If you’ve just planted a fresh batch of seeds be sure to go back and watch the video I posted on how to Pinch Zinnias, it’s amazing how strong and BIG they get with a little pinching and the bonus is …. You’ll get twice as many blooms!!
