I never pinched my flowers for a long time, because I was always too scared, but when I finally did, & seem how many more stems I got, and how many more blooms, I always do now! I can plant less seeds ( saving money) & space further apart, & get same amount of blooms!?!?
Just beautiful! I’ve grown many different varieties of zinnias over the past 25 years. When I first started I grew them in 7-8 rows close together with the rows being about 12 feet long. But I live in a suburb of Chicago and most summers we get strong storms and the wind would blow a few down then it caused a domino effect and I could never quite get them to stay upright. So after some years of that I started to space them and just grow three rows and leave a good amount of space in between and never had a problem with the wind knocking them over. Also you mentioned wondering how they would do in full sun and they do really well but when it gets really hot they need lots a water sometimes twice a day.
I love your longer videos! They are packed with valuable information. I’m trying zinnias for the first time this year. All questions I would ask were answered in this one video. Thank you! ❤️
I'm in TN and I direct sowed some here on April 17th....they are now a couple of inches tall....i usually plant mine about every week so I can have something in bloom all summer and into the fall
My very first garden experience was when I was 8 or 9. My mom grew zinnias along the front walkway. I. Was. Amazed. This year I want to wow my mom with a cottage style flower garden. Zinnias. Cosmos. Hollyhocks. Baby’s breath. Calendula. Lady’s mantle. Etc. blessings…🌸
Loved your video! It answered a lot of questions. I’m going to grow zinnias for the first time in 2024. I have 5 acres and would to have a flower farm for cut flowers. Going to start small and see how it goes. I live in coastal Ms and out summer starts in April and last some times into Oct/Nov. Thanks!
I hope you are enjoying the results of your gardening, photography and successes... as much as we are!!! You... and many of us, ARE living the dream, 'baby'!!!
I start seeds in Denver in south window. You can always use lights right down on them. Just raise the lights as they grow. Light 3 inches from top of plant.
I've found that TULLE is the best netting for anything and everything. Big plus with Tulle is that birds don't get stuck in it like they can in some other types of netting.
The first flower I ever grew at 10 years old was a Zinnia with a family friend. Her garden was outstanding, part shady and lush with flowers, trees, wildlife too. I want to ask if you would share some of the different places we can order Zinnias with different cost ranges please. I’m highly interested in growing more Zinnias, sunflowers and Dahlias.
I always hear that zinnia's love heat but I can tell you that they are stressed in my very dry heat that is well over 100° for an extended amount of time. They will grow and bloom but struggle with burned leaves. They were in 4-6 hours sun. Their obvious relief when our temps went below 100° was shown by more blooms and happier leaves.
This was so informative and helpful. Your zinnias are just gorgeous and you did a great job of filming them. I even like zinnias when the blooms have faded a little because I think they are still pretty. I know some people dry them as well.
Thank you so much for your information. I saw that you have beautiful zinnias. Are they all Benary's Giants? What's the creamy yellow and what appears to be multi shade light orange with light green center? I like to know what they are so I can look for the seeds.
Good to know about the Cupcake's. Mine were a huge disappointment too. I didnt get any that looked like the picture. I will not try them again. Loved the Queen Lime Blush and Queen Lime Orange though.
I don't have experience with many varieties but Profusion Zinnias haven't had any disease problems for me when the rest of my garden is struggling from powdery mildew. I live near Dallas which is hot and humid most of the year, and the spot I had them in was shady the first half of the day with blazing sun the last half, next to concrete. Perfect conditions for stress and disease. They are on the short side but so full of long lasting flowers. I read Zahara Zinnias are similar. The seeds were a little expensive but worth it in the end. I think local Lowe's/HD may be selling baby profusion plants in 6-12 packs as generic Zinnias of whites and pinks. Those grew the same as the profusion I grew from seeds. An end of summer storm came through and made everything floppy, so I cut them back hard and within 2 weeks they were full of leaves again.
Hi , thanks for the video . Where should the pot be placed after sowing seeds? Can it be in direct sun or should it be inside room till the seed germinate and than move it outside in sun ? Thanks
Zinnias are my fav flower. This past yr they developed brown spot 😮. I was told I can’t plant them or anything else again in that soil because its a virus. What can I do other than to dump and bring in new soil? Thank you, new sub. ❤
Will my new seedlings do okay in a west facing sun location under a tree so its partial shade till early aft then full, but hot location. Apprec your imput.
Thank you for this! I have a bunch of seeds that I plan on starting with my 7 year old daughter. I will let the 🐝 pollinate the zinnias. I have a Thanksgiving cactus that was white and another one that was fuchsia pink and cross pollinated them. I’m waiting for the seed pod to develop but it’s going to be interesting to see the mix of the two.
It's definitely the genetics. Many popular seed companies have started sourcing from overseas and I've noticed in general the quality is getting really bad. It's supposed to be against USDA regulations to order from overseas but profits and booming demand due to Covid can make some companies do unethical things.
I can’t keep my zinnias healthy all through the summer in Oklahoma(zone7a). They start dying toward end of July. Is it wrong to water them every morning in temperatures of the high 90s? I figured since roots don’t go too deep, the soil gets bone dry every day. Mine never look as healthy as everyone else’s zinnias. I did start watering at the base to avoid mildew. This year I will be trying not feeding them. I heard a good compost is all you need for the whole season. Thanks for the tips and is there anything I’m missing?
I had no scabiosa zinnias from my Zinderella peach zinnias. It was a big disappointment. I don’t think I’ll try again, there are so many other pretty types. Thanks for all of the great info! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
If you're having trouble with japanese beetles, plant alyssum and marigolds with your other crops. The alyssum attract spring Tiphia, a parasitoid wasp that attacks jb and white cabbage caterpillars and marigolds attract assassin bugs and lacewings that feed on garden pests.
I'm interested in using the pre cut weed barrier. I found one that has the holes approximately 6" apart . Is that what you use? Thanks, We really like your videos.
@@TONYAwiththeflowers The cuts for the holes in your weed cloth seem so clean. Can you share any tips for that? BTW just ordered some Banarys zinnia seed from Geo Seed. I let them know that I got their name from you. Thank you for taking the time.
Which variety do you plant and where do you buy them? My last batch were 4 feet tall, and I had to stake them. I had some volunteers that were mostly magenta, and few puny plants. Zone 9.
I grew the Benary giants for the first time this year, picked on them for over a month. I have noticed that the new flowers are so tiny. Could this be from a cold snap or are my plants just tired? Thanks for all your videos, I have learned so much from you. I even did the winter sowing and great success. Thank you once again.
Some cultivars do seem to get smaller as the season progresses, but I've never noticed it in Benary's Giants. I would maybe try adding some fertilizer or watering more to see if anything changes. Good luck! 🌱🌱🌱
Thanks so much for answering my question about zinnias! My zinnias are finally blooming and I am in love with them! Will definitely be growing them every year. Thanks for all your advice and tips! Since I know you are a Kentucky girl...will you be watching the Kentucky Derby this weekend? 😊
I bught a bag of seeds at jewels . Thinking they might not grow. I just spread them in this pot I had in the front porch. And omg they grew so big I had to move them from the pot... I might plant them again next year. I had wholes in my leafs also. So that's what they are beatles
Where do you buy your “finish” compost or what do you use for that? We have clay soil and tho we try and keep it from being compacted, it still is and drives me crazy!!!! Love love love this video.
My local nursery makes a blend of finished compost using leaves, worm castings, coffee grounds, etc. It's so rich and fluffy, and has really made a huge difference in the soil. In the future, I really want to start exploring making my own. 🌱🌱🌱
As I see you putting the potting soil into the bottle/pot toward the beginning of the video...what sort of soil do you use for potting seedlings? If you watch just about any garden show from Great Britain, like "Gardener's World," they go on and on about using "peat free" soil. Here in central KY, I don't think I've ever seen such a thing. Of course, Miracle Gro bags are the easiest thing to find, but there are all kinds of advisories about Miracle Gro having chemicals in it that are bad, especially for pollinators. Do you have any advice?
Where I am, miracle grow potting soil is the only option. I use it in both bottles and seed trays. I haven't noticed any real issues with using it for seed starting. I'll have to read up about the pollinators. I hadn't heard that previously about the potting soil. Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
You mentioned that your sow your plants close together. Are most of your flowers planted 4-6 inches part vs 9 inches like most seed packs recommend? Or do you go even closer?
I planted zinnias for the first time this summer(from seed). They did great but I was disappointed how small most of the flower heads were. What types are the largest?
I bought a zinnia in a small pot and it already has a flower in bloom and a bunch that hasn't bloomed yet and I've noticed that the roots are starting to grow too big.. can I pit in soil ? Is it too late ?
If the last frost date has passed, you can definitely plant it into the garden. Make sure to harden it off first if it's been indoors. Happy gardening!
Just found your channel. I love growing Zinnias and am getting so inspired for next season! I'm sorry if you've mentioned this, but what zone do you garden in?
No, I actually didn't even think of that at all. 🌱🌱🌱 This video is a combination of answers to all the garden questions that everyone asked on Instagram and in my own comment section. I'm sorry if there was any confusion. 💐🐌🌼🌼🌼
I weeded out most of my zinnia seedlings, meaning I thought they were weeds so I don't recommend direct sowing. After that I sowed in pots and then moved them when they were more recognizable. So funny, that little monologue on scabiosa flowers...🤣 Please do not plant morning glory, they will choke every plant including full grown hedges and shrubs to death. Dieback at the bottom of a plant is generally a nitrogen deficiency.
**UPDATED VIDEO - th-cam.com/video/IKZhRmvry9g/w-d-xo.html
Tonya, the Zinnia photographs and flower garden vids alone are enough to keep watching. Thanks for the helpful info as well.
The footage you have of the bees and birds on the flowers is amazing!
Thank you so much for the kind comment :) :) Hope you're having a great day!

I've found that TULLE is the best netting for anything and everything. Big plus with Tulle is that birds don't get stuck in it like they can in some other types of netting.
Mine did great in full day full sun… I planted a few early in a east bed in spring they’ve not really done good … so I planted more this last week…
I’m so glad i found your channel. Super interesting informative transparent and hilarious with the impersonations and voices lol 😂.

👍very informative
Can you tell me how you winter plant using bottles?
My zinnias do well in full/all day sun ☀️
Mine too. If I do grow a single zinnia plant in a pot, the plant seems to over heat in full sun. I think they grow best huddled with others.
Very pretty, vibrant colours, thank you
