Zinnias were my ‘gateway’ plant into the world of gardening. When I was a child, a bag of Fritos came with a packet of zinnia seeds. I cleared a little spot along our back fence and planted the seeds. I was about seven and I was hooked. Almost sixty years later, I still love zinnias!
They are such a wonderful plant!
I have a question. How can I get control of the powdery mildew that accumulates on the leaves of the plant? Thank you Karen
❤❤😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌🤎🤎🤎🤎
I just started watching your channel and I’m loving it! Only one suggestion- in my opinion your background music is too loud. I’m having a hard time concentrating on your voice. Thanks!
Yep, I understand, this video was made months ago and I’ve adjusted in my newer videos, but thanks for the feedback.
Agree too loud

I just started watching your channel my question is for me to save the
seed do I leave the flowers on the plant and let it dry or cut the flowers off
Hmmm. I’m very surprised this is what you have to say. I didn’t even notice. I was too engrossed. Wonderful video!!!
Your fabulous video has made me fall in love with zinnias! I am at the end of my life, and I feel I am in the last hurrah of gardening. For some reason after years of ignoring gardening, I became obsessed with planting vegetables and flowers just when I became less able to move, bend over, and bend my knees!
I have a raised bed- lots of containers and beautiful beds! Thank you for contributing to my joy! God bless you!
Zinnias bring so much joy!
You can live a lot longer .. when the med-beds are distrubuted to all hospitals throughout the world .. b4 the end of the year ..as soon as Big Pharma crashes .. this is Biblical .. no more aches n pain .no more arthitis ..and much much more ..so you will be able to really enjoy your gardening ! eta this b4 years end (21) ☺ GOD Bless!

When you said you are at the end of your life, it made me want to share my favorite quote with you...
"Garden as though you will live forever."
Hi - new sub here, happy to find you. Lots of good info and you present it well, good job! Now I have to go see what else you've done. One thing, You Tube music is awful and you don't need it. It's loud enough when you're speaking that it's difficult to hear you. When you're not speaking, it blares. You are so well spoken that you can carry a video on your own. Keep up the good work!
Aww thanks for letting me know! I always worry about sound ... it is definitely what I struggle with the most.
Music is distracting.
I agree
Newbie to gardening and found this very helpful. I'm sort of taking up the mantle for my mom that has passed away. She loved being outside in her garden. It was her sanctuary away from the tribe of twelve children. I am now seeing the joy of gardening with it's endless possibilities! I agree with Sue Silva as far as you being knowledgeable and easy to follow. I took notes:)
literally the exact comment i was going to leave. word for word.
Neat format to have pictures alongside the talk. Thanks for the information.
You are welcome! 💚
I grew Zinnias last year on a whim. I plant many Annuals every season, for their consistent blooming, but the Zinnias turned out to be my favorite! So needless to say, this year I am growing 5 different types. 😃👏🏻👏🏻
You are going to love them! 💚💚💚

Hi Amanda! I accidentally clicked your video just now. I've been planting Zinnias since I was 15 y.o. in the Philippines and it brought joy within not only to myself but my family and people who passed by our house. They voiced out their appreciation which made me happy. I'm now 65 and and I've been here in USA for 10 years. I thought I wouldn't have the chance to plant them. When we moved to Utah this year, I tried to plant early in May but failed 3x due to unpredictable frost. Fortunately, I somehow succeeded and the flowers were beautiful! Thanks for your tips because I put shade on them, wet the petals and leaves, I fertilized every 2 weeks and I don't cut the flowers because I wanted to enjoy them longer. I learned a lot from you.
I shared this video to my sisters and friends in the Philippines.🏵️❤️👍
Wonderful! Welcome to my channel!
LOVE your passion for these beautiful Zinnias....
This is great info for me being a 1st time grower from seeds...
You are going to do great!
So......never planted any flowers before. It’s always been vegetables. So I ordered veggie seeds from Baker Creek and they sent me free Zinnias with my order. Right now, they are only maybe an inch tall and I only germinated 14. I realize, now that I planted them wrong ( because I planted them in a tight group, but....this video taught me so much + just how many varieties there are AND how to do this correctly the next time. I will be growing them every summer from now on. Thanks so much!!!!!
Love mixing veggies and flowers! Good luck and enjoy!
Couldnt agree more! Zinnia's are amazing! Great advice!
Thank you!
First time watching you and I was loving your enthusiasm for these fun flowers. I love them too.
Thank you 💚💚💚
Great Video with great info! Thank you for that!
I love Zinnias. I have hundreds that reseeded even after we had 13 degrees in Houston Texas in zone 9b
south MO here, and we have temps down to 0F most winters and I never have trouble w mine reseeding themselves, I do nothing! And they just show up!
💚💚💚
I love them too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So easy, long season & the colors! 😊😊😊
They are so fun 💚
Lol. I watch this over and over. I love these flowers
+Vicki me too!
Thanks for the zinnia info, going to try planting them the first time here in New Jersey. Just an aside, you don’t need the background music it over powers you talking. Your voice is pleasant enough. Happy planting 🌸 🌼
Loved your video
Could you list the best places to get seeds? Please
@@JustShirl8 I order from a variety of seed catalogs, the seeds that are in stores have been sitting around for too long. Just google seed catalogs, it’s worth getting better quality seed. Have fun!
Zinnias have always been a favorite of mine. So, so easy to grow. Happy gardening!
Same to you 💚
What a great selection of zinnias you have grown - just gorgeous.
Thank you 💚💚💚
I love Zinnias so much. And, that's why I'm happy that you've shared some really good tips today. Thank you very much!
You are welcome! 💚
Cant wait to see my zinnias bloom. My first time from seed! Thanks for sharing these tips!
Enjoy 💚
Thank you so much for all the Zinnia tips! This is the first time that I'm growing them from seed!
You are going to love them!

I am now really excited about growing Zinnias. Thank you for the pep talk.
Wonderful!
Thank you for such an informative video on Zinnias. I am inspired to add tons of them to brighten up my garden.
Thank you for a great video and great tips! Zinnias are my favorite flower, as a kid I was always surprised at their bold show of color. I soak the seeds for an hour and let them dry a bit right before I plant. They usually germinate a day faster. That’s my tip. 🙂
+cjmerobot good tip!
th-cam.com/video/8S34FwVXlrY/w-d-xo.html
Benary's Giant Wine is my favorite. It is tall and has large blooms. It looks great with red/deep pink Celosia. I think the entire Benary series (many colors) offers the most spectacular zinnias! Thanks for your video!
Good choice!
Great information on these plants. I love them. Beautiful 💓
Zinnias are such a cheerfull flower.
They really bring a lot of joy 💚
What a great video! I am in Southern BC Canada and this is my first year of growing (12") Lilliput Zinnias from seed. Your instructions were clear and simple. I have made notes and will be able to refer to them once I transplant the Zinnias in our garden. Thank you so so much and I look forward to viewing more of your videos!
What a kind comment! You made my day ❤️
Beautiful!
💚💚💚
I am trying Zinnias for the first time this year and really excited to try all your tips! Thank you!
You are going to love them! 💚💚💚
First year growing zinnias. I am so happy can't wait to see what they will look like in my flower beds, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are going to fall in love!
This video was so helpful! Thanks for being exactly who you are!!😁💚
You made me smile, thank you for the support ❤️
Thank you 💚💚💚
Thank you for all the tips. Your flowers are gorgeous.
Loved your video. Your love for zinnias really shows here. Zinnias always remind me of my first ever gardening experience as a child, with my father buying the seeds and mother showing me how to sow.
+Anon Gal Thank you 💚💚💚
So glad to find your channel! Thank you for all the info. I’ll be growing zinnias for the first time this year. 😊
You’re going to love them!

+Awais Khan they are such a fun bloom!
Thanks I love this flower(zinniasflower)
Zinnias are my favorite, too. I Live in zone 7b, eastern NC. Getting ready to plant tons of them all over my sunny backyard.
💚💚💚
Really. Very well done! The split screen is genius. Excellent photos. Better than most in catalogs thank you for your time, tips and your wonderful enthusiasm!
Wow, you just made my day with this comment ❤️ thank you ❤️
I'm growing zinnias from seeds I saved last year! Looking forward to having a ton!
❤️❤️❤️
This is my first time planting zinnias. They have no blooms yet (zone 4) but you covered everything I never knew I needed to know about caring for them. Thanks ❤
Glad it was helpful!
That's what I'm learning
Planted my first zinnias this year. Your video was a great help. Thanks
Thank you 💚💚💚
I'm planting zinnias for first time in June , this was really helpful!

New Viewer - just found your channel and loved it! Concise information but still so personal and genuine. I usually just buy my zinnias but will definitely try growing them from seed next year thanks to you. . I look forward to binge watching some more of your videos!
You are going to love growing them from seed!

Thanks so much! I'm finally growing these beauties!
Wonderful!
Thank you for the great tips! Your zinnias are beautiful!
Thank you 💚
I'm so glad you mentioned that zinnias are important to pollinators. I bought a 6 pack of the small ones this year - my first time for having zinnias. After watching this video, I'm wanting to plant more for next season.
You are going to love them! 💚💚💚
th-cam.com/video/4KsXXaBDYvQ/w-d-xo.html
Great info on zinnias. They are one of my favorites too!
+Camille Wilson me too!
how fun! love zinnias!
Thank you 💚💚💚
Bless you! That stunned, confused expression of WHAT PLANET IS THIS?!?! Im right there with ya sister. I’m in Alabama but I know exactly where you’re coming from. I will be so glad when mother nature gets her act together!!!
It’s been a hot mess over here! Can’t believe I’m looking forward to steady days of 90 plus degrees 😂
@@shesamadgardener Same here! Someone was complaining yesterday saying “I can’t believe it’s going to be 80 for the next week! In February!” Personally, I’ll take 105 over 5 ANYDAY! Btw, I’m starting about 14 varieties of zinnias this weekend. I’m going today to buy the cherry red at the end of your video. I don’t even care for red zinnias but that is GORGEOUS!!!
Great video, Amanda! Zinnias are such a fun flower, and they self-sow like crazy, too. In fact, they can quickly take over large areas which makes for a lovely ground cover! 😊 (They're easy enough to pull up, too, when necessary.) I totally agree about pruning back and cutting flowers often. Maybe more than any other plant I've seen, they respond by sending out more flowers. Thanks for sharing all the pretty photos! - Kim
Thank you!
Do you have a favorite variety?
@@vickipackham7357 You're probably talking to Amanda here ☺️ but I'll throw in my favorite - the big Cactus Zinnias, especially the vivid orange ones!
I have a question. How can I get control of the powdery mildew that accumulates on the leaves of the plant? Thank you Olive
Just started planting zinnias love them thanks for the tips
You are welcome! 💚
flowers make me so happy when im in the garden in the summer, in the baking heat, and sweating, feeling sick from the heat! I like the flowers! lol
They bring me a lot of joy too!
Love gardening but had never planted zinnias until last year. I lined the front of our garden with the deck planter boxes full of zinnias and marigolds. So pretty. Started seeds indoors this year. Will plant more outside too. Great video!
Thank you 💚💚💚
th-cam.com/video/8S34FwVXlrY/w-d-xo.html
My first year growing, already in ground so thank you for wonderful tips!💜
Do you think it’s too late to start?
@@lindavan83 I don't think so, I have more new seeds started and they grow so quickly!
You are going to love them! 💚💚💚
Super!!!! I am excited to plant zinnias and made my garden looks beautiful. You been so easy to understand and keep me watching your video from the beginning to the end. Be bless.🌸
Aww thank you 💚
I grew zinnia seeds last year, loved them. I did save seeds getting ready this week end to plant them. Great tips thank you.🤗

I love to grow the lime green ones for their pop in bouquets. I also grow other colors as well.
💚💚💚

Just get in the dirt and play
Thank you
+Debra Isaac aww thanks! I pretty much look like a hot mess in my videos 😬😂
Just found your channel. Planted Zinnias this year for the first time in many years.
Thanks for these tips 🙏🏾. I’m going to be starting a garden and this is my first time growing flowers, veggies, and fruits. The flower I choose is Zinnias. I’m glad I choose a beginner friendly flower. I’m really excited and nervous to get started, but videos like this help me feel prepared to go out of my comfort zone and try something new.
+BlerdyVee You are going to love them! 💚💚💚
th-cam.com/video/8S34FwVXlrY/w-d-xo.html
How did it go @blerdyvee? 🤞🏼
I'm excited to grow some queeny line Zinnias this year. I fell in love with them last year on everyone's pages.
It is a show stopper!
Zinnias are definitely my favorite cut flower!
SAME 💚💚💚
This is my 2nd year trying zinnias... I am zone 6A. I learned a lot from your video! Thx
You are welcome! 💚
Great video, and lots of excellent information. I'm in zone 4B-5 in Eastern Ontario, Canada. For some reason I have never grown Zinnia's in all my years of gardening, so this year I've purchased several pkg's of different kinds, and looking forward to having so many beautiful cut flowers over a long season! :)
One of my favorite TH-cam channels, You Can’t Eat Grass, is in Canada and they do have some extensive videos on flowers including zinnias. They have been very successful with them!
@@shesamadgardener Yes!!! I have discovered them during this past winter, and have enjoyed their video's. Very fun to see, and hear about all their growing experiences! :) ~M~
Zinnias are my favorite!!!! Just got some queen lime reds!! Super excited. The ZowieTM ones are ones I really wanna try!!!
I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
I have grown them, they are vigorous growers and great bloomers!
This is my first year for growing Zinnias. Wow.. are they ever beautiful! 😍💮
They are such fun flowers!
I found your channel looking for zinnia guidance and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been missing so much! Fairy gardens and diy garden projects! How fun can’t wait to watch them all. But first. Zinnias in ground!
Glad you are here!
th-cam.com/video/4KsXXaBDYvQ/w-d-xo.html
I couldn’t possibly ever pick one favorite Zinnia. Each One is so completely Divine! A whole Universe of Fabulous in Every Bloom 🌼🌺🌷
I agree!
Great video Amanda. I will be growing these this year and taking them inside.
Can’t wait to see how yours turn out ❤️
Thanks for a great video ,thanks for sharing. I'm going to try purple prince this here in west of Ireland.
I love zinnias. I’m planting some this weekend.
+Ellen Walker they are my favorite!
Zinnias are great flowers. That you for your tips.
You are welcome! 💚
A brilliant, beautifully filmed video with wonderful tips!! Thanks for teaching me how to grow and care for my zinnias this year. My first yr. of planting at my new house. Can't wait!!
Good luck and enjoy!
th-cam.com/video/4KsXXaBDYvQ/w-d-xo.html
My favorite of ther moment, which I have not yet grown, is Forecast. It has a simple single flower in various colors with a well-defined, large disk of dark red surrounded by gold.
On my way to Google it!
@@shesamadgardener They may be sold out. I have used half of the 50 seeds in the packet I got from Burpee months ago, and I could put the packet envelope with the remaining seeds in a postal envelope and mail it to you, if you are in the U.S., at least. Canada, too -- I'd just need to figure out how to do it.
Thank you for these tips. Love Zinnias flowers, colorful and lovely.
You are welcome! 💚
Thank you for all your useful tips!
You are so welcome!
I'm so excited for this year! I used to plant zinnias as a kid. This will be my first time in a long time planting from seed, I think I've got 15 different varieties! I just couldn't help myself.
It’s gonna be gorgeous!
th-cam.com/video/4KsXXaBDYvQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the tips. I bought some zinnia seeds from the dollar tree and thought what the heck if they don't germinate I am only out 25 cents.... they all sprouted. I can't wait to get them outside. Still almost a month to go before the last frost here in southern Ontario Canada. I hope I can keep them alive till then. :)
You are going to love them!

This video made me so happy to watch. Your zinnias are gorgeous. I bought seed for the first time this year. Mostly I grow veggies, so zinnias are new for me. Thank you for all the tips. I never knew most of them.
You are welcome! 💚
Zinnias are one of my favourites, so beautiful
Me too!
Love your video. I'm going to try growing zinnias this year any tips for soil preparation? I live in new England and typically I've mixed peat moss and manure with the soil. Thanks!
Just make sure the soil drains well!
love your video.....music is so distracting and loud.............split screen excellant
Totally agree with you! I’m working on doing better with balance of sound ... thanks for the feedback!
Those five tips are great. Thank you.
A friend gifted me some seeds a while ago, that was my first time growing zinnias and I was amazed and hooked. I want them in my garden every year now.
They are such a fun bloom!
