Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

What is "@freshcutky"?
@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including TH-cam) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

HEY FLOWER FAM! Let's make this zinnia video go viral - leave a comment, hit the like, and don't forget it share it everywhere! Thank you so much for your support! 💚💚💚
I suck at social media but going to try to find you on FB to share. 💕
@@monawolfe and several comments right here help the channel sooooo very much!!
The goal is to get more than 100 comments!!!
This makes the algorithm take notice!
So even a couple of quick Hello's 👋 really help A LOT!!!
@@gardengatesopen I know right! I never post on FB so people would be like, what? That’s one of the best ways though, sharing on social media. And I don’t do Insta at all. Actually to be honest I’d like to get off all social media all together.
@@gardengatesopen yall are so helpful! This is why I love the gardening g community!
First year growing zinnias and I am in love with them. So easy and beautiful and fairly drought tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
Zinnias are such a happy flower! I never knew you can root them.
I took a large batch of zinnia cuttings last year, and they grew so well! Thanks for watching!
I think that’s such a smart idea, more free plants, & probably faster than sprouting seeds. Genius! ❤️
Neither did i
Me either mind blown
Thank you for great video!! Also, your photography is wonderful!!! I really appreciate how you present your material. I've learned so much from you!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind comment. I'm glad it has been helpful. :) :)
Great video Tanya, I don’t have any questions, but I’m leaving a comment so you can go viral!
Thank you! :)
Hello fellow Kentucky flower farmer you just got a new sub! 😊
Good tip for winter sowing zinnias 2 weeks before last frost
Hi Tonya, Thanks for taking your time to video❤
Loving all the new content. You are one of my favorite channels. You are REAL and honest!!! Thank you for making all these videos 💕
Thank you so much for the encouragement! Hope you're having a great day!
Amazing video as always!!! the yellow birb on the yellow flower in the begining is so cute!
I get to enjoy that beautiful bird here in zone5B. Think it's an American Goldfinch. They do love zinnea seeds straight from the flower head. Believe he plucks a petal so he can eat the seed attached to end of petal. I can see that happening on video. If half the petals are gone from a flower head, I know who's been visiting.
I love watching the birds in the garden. Sometimes, it's difficult to save my zinnia seeds, because the goldfinches will eat them all. LOL!
Great instructional video. I seeded a zinnia patch in my vegetable garden, and it’s lovely. I didn’t know about pinching tops, so they all layed down. Cucumber beetles eat the petals.
You did a great job with the video of the bird and the butterfly
Thanks for watching! :)
I love Zinnias!
Zinnia is easy to grow and so beautiful 🌼🌼🌼🌼👍🌻🌺💐
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Zone 8b south Willamette Valley here. Cleaning out beds yesterday and see lots of zinnia seedlings. Poor things. Our March has come in like a lamb. Worried winter is yet to come.
I always love volunteer seedlings. Hope that your weather begins to warm soon. Happy gardening! :)
I just love zinnias. I know they aren't the "fanciest" flower, but they make me swoon! I will be growing so many varieties this season
I agree! They're always one of my favorites!
What you do is amazing.I absolutely Love zinnias ,i grew California Gaints and State Fair,Scarlet Flame and other tall varieties.I am into butterfly gardening so i like zinnias that attract pollinators
Thanks for watching! 🌱
Excellent visual and explanation on pinching the main stem.
Thank you so much for watching! :) :)
Best zinnia video I’ve seen! 👍
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Hope to grow hundreds of zinnias this year!💜
Me too! I'm really excited!
Great info on Zinnias. Hope to have good luck with mine.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
This was SO helpful! I have been researching for a while now and you are the first person to show me exactly how to “pinch”. Thank you!
I'm glad that it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching! :)
Commenting for you for the TH-cam algorithm!
I love zinnias! I usually grow a couple of specific colors and then a couple of mixes, but this year I think I am going to focus on growing only specific varieties. I have a lot of fun new-to-me colors that I’m excited to see in my garden!
I love zinnias and i sowed some zinnias seeds two weeks ago ,they r growing now and i can't wait to plant them in my garden🥰🥰
Great video as usual! Covered with ice in my part of Ky today, so dreaming of spring and growing Zinnias!
Yes, me too. I went outside to knock ice off the hoop house so many times yesterday. Also, worried about this stretch of cold weather.
We’ve been in the deep freeze for 3 weeks now, snow after snow. And the coldest is yet me to come though it keeps moving back a day. It’s that global warming we’ve all had our ears pierced with 😳
Thank you!! I loaded up on Zinnia seeds and I can’t wait!🤞😍
That's wonderful! Thanks for watching! :)
I'm growing profusion zinnias in containers this year because I don't have much room, I'm excited.
I've heard really good things about profusion zinnias, especially about resistance to powdery mildew. Good luck! :)
A NEW Zinnia vid!!!
FANTASTIC!!!! 🌼💮🏵
THANKS Doll ❤
Oooh, new flower emojis. I haven’t seen those before 😊
🌻🌼💮🥀🌹 How fun!! thank you IPhone update!!
Zinias are my favorite flowers I enjoyed and learned from your video. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching!
Zinnias were my gateway flower to my flower obsession. Absolutely love zinnias! Thank you for the great video. 🌼🌸🌼🌸
They were one of the first flowers that I ever grew, as well!
Last thing.. Lol
I saw a suggestion somewhere (maybe your channel, but I don't remember now), about shaking them a little by the stem to see if they were ready to cut.. So if they were really flimsy, they weren't ready, but if they weren't, they were good to go.
Thank you ! Love Zinnias
Thank you again@
Myohmy!!!soo beautiful your flowers looks amazing💐💐💐
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Love Zinnias! So easy to grow! I love the variety that you have growing in your garden! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Thank you for this information on zinnias love these flowers bought a wide selection of seeds this year!
Love this flower 💙
I have serious zinnia envy! I was able to get Floret’s Unicorn and Little Flower Girl mixes and I am so excited for another great zinnia year this year.
I'm really excited to start planting! :)
Gorgeous garden!!!!
Really looking forward to Zinnias this year. Have sooo many varieties. Am building a low tunnel especially for the seed propagation. Hello from Top of the Hill Flower Farm in Ireland 🇮🇪
Starting Zinnias indoors from seeds this year. Hoping to attract a lot of bees and butterflies in my garden this summer. Really appreciate ALL your informative vids👍
Thanks so much for watching! Good luck! :)
I am so excited to plant my zinnias this year. Thank you for this guide.
Me too! I'm really excited for spring! :) :)
I found this interesting. Your zinnia are gorgeous ❤ I've sown a lot of flower seeds this Spring, and a lot of them are zinnias. I'm going to try the rooting of cuttings you mentioned. Genius! 👏🏽
Thank you so much for watching! Happy gardening! :) :)
I'm so excited to grow again this year.. I got many seeds from Baker Creek this year.
Beautiful footage!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Love zinnias!
Me too! :) :)
love zinnias...so easy to grow!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Those bi-color ones make my heart pitter patter. I’m looking forward to growing Queen Lime Red and Benary green. If I put any more flowers in my beds my neighbors are gonna think I’ve lost my mind, which wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate.
Lol, me planting flowers all over the yard is definitely the least problematic thing where I live...
You make a difference though. I’ve noticed my neighbors starting to work in their yards more since 2 years ago when I did some revamping in my beds. You are blooming where you’re planted...literally! ❤️🌸🌷
So well done, we live in 8b so hope to be successful this year
Good luck! :) :) Thanks for watching!
Very useful and informative thank you
Congrats on your growth. Thumbs up 👍
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Great show!
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to get mine started!
Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
Nice. I like the new format with the chapters!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! :)
Mam już nasiona and feel free i właśnie przypomniałem sobie że muszę kupić ziemię i wysiać ich kilka teraz .
Always learning! Did not know you could root from cuttings.....thank you thank you for the tips as always......keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Another colorful and informative video!. I don't like to spray either but was able to reduce the Japanese beetle population dramatically by knocking them into soapy water in early morning before they wake up.
That's a great technique! :)
Great video!
🚫 to the 🚫🚫 on Japanese beetles! I go around and pluck them off and dump into a water bottle filled with some dish soap and water. Can't stand the sight of their love fest on my beautiful blooms! Lol
LOL! That's a great way to control them! Thanks for watching :) :)
Another great video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Thank you for all that you do!!! I learned a lot from your blogs.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you're having a great day! :) :)
Great idea with the netting!
Your photography is beautiful 🌸💕
Thank you so much for the kind comment! :)
I grow zinnias from seed every year. Love the variety blast of color amongst my veggie garden. My favorite is purple prince and candy striped. Love your idea of the scrogg net thingie...i will have to try that this year and plant them in a big section like you do 😍
Thanks so much for watching! :)
You grow the most beautiful zinnias!
Thank you! :) :)
Your thumbnails matching the images you use for backgrounds...... “chef kiss” perfection!!
Love your videos! Thanks for uploading!
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you're having a great day! :) :)
❤️ first year growing zinnias for me. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱
I am going to try growing zinnias this year. (KY) Thanks for the info. Going to watch more of your videos.
Thanks so much for watching! Happy gardening! :) :)
when do you do your last pinch deadheading for the season so as to have time for seed maturation for end-of-season harvest for the next year's seed saving?
I usually stop picking the flowers about 4 weeks before the first frost arrives. This seems to leave plenty of time for the seeds to develop and mature, as long as I can keep the birds out of the seed pods. Thanks for watching!
I hope I ordered enough seed!
Great videos! All the zinnias look fantastic. I usually started my seedlings 4-6 week indoors before the last frost date but at that stage, the zinnias are way too tall. I will try starting a bit closer to the last frost date next year. Do you mind sharing what kinds of zinnias that you grow besides scabiosa and Benary's Giants? I really like the pale pastel pink zinnias, do you mind sharing what type is it?
Awesome video! Learning a lot from you. I have started some zinnia seeds in my garden.
Would you consider doing a video on how you start dahlias from seed?🌻🌸🌼🌷
Yes, I'll be starting my dahlia seeds around the end of March. Thanks for watching!
I direct sowed mine last year, and I don't think I pinched them.. But I definitely tried to keep those side shoots in mind when deciding where to cut the flowers later.
Hi did you leave the side shoots on zinnia plants? I’m growing them for the first time this year and I’m interested if I should leave the side shoots when they’ll grow.
@@veronical3135 Absolutely, especially if you plan to use them as cut flowers. The more side shoots, the more flowers you'll have. Just know that it will make the plant bushier. But if you're growing them for cut flowers, you'll be cutting those off too once they're ready, so it won't stay that way for long.
@@MsJay0913 Awesome, I’ll keep the side shoots for more flowers, thank you!
So much great info here! Best pinching footage I’ve come across. Sorry if I missed the spacing number, but how close do you plant them?
Usually about 6 inches apart. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi 👋 !!!!
Absolutely beautiful flowers! Thanks for the information. Where do you live in Kentucky I live in Owensboro?
Please tell us the variety of the gorgeous zombie in the thumbnail! And the beautiful peachy one towards the end. Thanks for this lovely video
The thumbnail is 'Benary's Giant Salmon Rose' zinnia. It's definitely one of my favorite colors! Thanks so much for watching! :)
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Thank you!
I love Zinnias, have you tried growing the Cactus variety? I’ve been enjoying how large they are and they last so long!
The cactus zinnias are so pretty! Thanks for watching!
Still not ready to commit to Dahlias so I must try the Cactus variety.
@@monawolfe The blooms are so rewarding, I haven’t had much luck with Dahlias either.
Hi , thanks for the tips . 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
What month do you start winter sowing Zennia please? Bernie from Ireland. Really enjoy watching your video thanks a million x
Thanks for the information. Really loved it.
Thank you for the kind comment! :)
Love your channel! This is first time I’m trying to start a cutting garden in my small yard🤞- I’m in central Florida- trying the milk jug seed start- they are germinating when do I take top off of jug and transplant? Thanks for any tips!
If the weather is warm, I always take the tops off - especially on sunny days. The inside of the container can easily get too hot and cause the seedlings to wilt. For zinnias, the biggest concern is protecting them at night and whenever the weather turns cold. Hope that helps! Good luck! :)
@@TONYAwiththeflowers thank you so much for quick response! Keep making your videos they’re great inspiration!
How do you combat the powdery mildew problem?
It really seems that some varieties have much more resistance than others. Since powdery mildew doesn't usually show up in my garden until the very end of the season, I usually just pull the plants and dispose of them. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TONYAwiththeflowers , what varieties do you find more resistant?
😪I started my zinnias under grow lights a few weeks ago. They were off to a good start; we had 68• weather so I placed them in the morning sun and the birds found them as soon as I turned my back - gone in an instant 😪😪 gonna try again using the winter sowing method 👍🏻
I'm so sorry to hear that! The same is true in my yard with sunflowers. If the weather is already in the high 60s and all chance of frost is gone, you likely don't even need a container or low tunnel. I often germinate my succession sowings by just putting the trays outside and making sure they maintain moisture. Good luck! :)
Oh no! :(
another amazing video~
Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱
Always informative
Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Do you ever grow Asters? They’re cool flowers too, similar to Zinnias but bloom later in the season. I’m growing King Apricot this year bc can’t get enough light peachy pink color flowers. 🤞
I tried to grow asters a few seasons ago, but it didn't go well. For some reason, they never bloomed. I may try them again, eventually, if I ever have more growing space.
@@TONYAwiththeflowers There was a certain little pleasure I got from those last year, even though they turned out to be bubblegum pink instead of peach apricot (wrong seeds, thank you Johnny!) Prob bc they popped up as everything else was going into summer doldrum. But you prob have your Dahlias for that which I don’t blame you. I tried to order Dahlias but got annoyed & gave up. People gouging online this year...🙄
That's so true. There are several suppliers that I tried to buy from and then just gave up because there were so many people trying to order at once. 🌱🌻🌷
Hi how many pinch you make in a season if more than onr when do you stop pinching
When do you do your first pinch I mean after how many set of leaves
Mine also grew to at least 6'. Looks like you add more netting as they grow, I'm always wondering how hard is it to keep them in each little sq.?
I only use one layer of netting for the zinnias. Once they grow through it, they seem to stay upright pretty well. I was definitely worried that another layer of netting would have made them difficult to pick for cut flowers. Hope that helps! :)
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Sounds good, mine did exactly what you said, flopped all over the place. Thanks.
I wish I could buy some seed from your unicorn zinnas. I couldn't catch them from floret and who knows when or if she will ever offer them again
Hi wanting to try a flower bed for this type of flower. I'm in cincy Ohio. You think no to putting seed into ground
Just as I was thinking of making a comment about how it would be great if TH-cam would not play the EXACT SAME ads from video to video, they actually used a different one for the second one! Hahaha
I’m interested in your soaps. Can you share what sort of chemicals are included? We have a very skin sensitive family.
Hopefully, I will be making soap again this spring. I'll definitely be making a video when I do that :) :)
😊
Rookie's question: When planting zinnia seeds, when does one apply the mulch? Is there a concern the mulch will smother the seeds? And if installing young plants, do you do that before or after mulching? It seems such an obvious question and I never see it addressed on how to videos. Thank you.
That's a really good question. I think a lot of it has to do with personal preference. For example, I use a landscape fabric. It would be almost impossible for me to plant first. However, it may be very easy to lay a different mulch down after transplant. People who use no-till methods definitely have success in planting directly into mulched beds, though I have very little experience with it. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Put milk in a spray bottle and spray it on your Powdery mildew. it will literally get rid of it. I know Seems crazy but it works.
I had no idea zinnias could be grown from cuttings. 😀
I've had fairly good success doing so, especially rooting them in water. 🌱🌱🌱
Love your channel. Youhave got to listen to Laura lee. She's a makeup TH-camrr ...it took me a minute but your voice and hers are EXACT!!! I CANNOT BELEIVE IT. CHECK HER OUT. U HAVE A VOICE TWIN.
That's funny! I'm not familiar with that channel, but I'll have to check it out. 🌱🌱🌱
Do you have any videos on watering?
I don't currently have any videos on watering. I'll have to add that to my video list. Thanks so much for watching! :)
