TIPS FOR GROWING GIANT ZINNIAS | BRING DRAMA TO THE GARDEN

Thank you. I just discovered your channel and really enjoy your videos.

Ithanks for the video. I just planted my seedlings 2 weeks ago. I love it. I just need to buy fungicides.

Excellent educational video!

i tried some zinnia seeds for the first time this year. i got good germination but they seem kind of stalled. it's been about 3 weeks and they haven't really grown that much. i was careful to space them so they're not all on top of each other. i have some direct in the ground and some in pots. all are doing about the same. do you fertilize your seedlings? any other thoughts?

... love cut fresh Zinnias... a piece of charcoal in the the fresh water seems to help...and ... strip off most leaves ... the more you cut the blooms off ... the more flowers you get ...

Beautiful garden

My zinnia die. I like to know why. My frist time growing them and they died. I need help

Having terrible trouble with powdery mildew,,,, didn’t have this problem last year…I grow Giants mainly..but husband mixed a different variety this year..could this be problem?

Liked the video but what's with all the jerkiness? I mean I seems deliberate because I saw many places where there was no cut but it appeared to be cut and spliced. It's nauseating.

New subscriber from North Texas 🙋🏾‍♀️. I planted zinnia seeds to my cutting garden for the first time Mother's Day weekend. Going out to pinch them this evening. 🌼😊🌿

New to drip systems but i have dahlias and zinnias in my raised beds. Can you recommend anything? also thanks so much for this video it was really helpful for both of my plants and the system that I should put in place (feeding, watering etc)

Is there any difference between zinnia dahalia and zinnia cut and come back again?

To me they look very similar

I hate to say it in life I hate drama! But this drama I like🥰🌸

I have recently discovered zinnias. They have become a new love of mine 😊 I’m growing them here in Hawaii . They have given me such pleasure and the blooms are very beautiful! Thank you for making this very helpful video 👍🏼

I grew zinnias for the first time this summer in the awful Phoenix heat. They are doing wonderful!! So glad I found zinnias for my low desert flower gardens. Daily watering is the key.

Bring drama to the garden?! I love it!!

Eden Brothers Seeds has a large selection of Zinnia seeds.

Lovely garden

Zinna uproar rose is a leaf disease resistant variety

So useful and knowledgeable video on zinnia plants care and propagation 👍🏼👍🏼🌻🌻🌺

Nwsub here. So happy to find a fellow Texans channel! Beautiful Zinnias!

Thanks for the tip on fungicide. It’s such a bummer when I lose beautyful zinnia plants to powdery mildew so I’ll use the fungicide as long as it doesn’t hurt animals and birds. I try to water at the base which helps to fend off mildew. I’m sure the drip system is even better.

Hi , I want to know if I can use the fungicide even when flowers are blooming

I want to know also what is a good pesticide for succulents, especially for mealy bugs. Also for other flowering plants is it ok to use pesticide when flowering ?

love zinnias as a cutting flower! thanks for your advice.

when you're spraying the fertilizer are you spraying the plant or towards the soil or both?

Thank you!

I'm in Illinois. I harvested some seeds last year from an old man's garden. I took all kinds of colors. My favorite was the red and white candy cane striped.

I have Gazinias growing this year too.

I have a great tip for growing zinnias naturally in your garden with out starting seedlings. Toward the end of summer I take the dead flowers( must be completely brown) and cut them off. Fill a gallon ziplock and and store in dry place over winter. In the fall or early spring, pull of dead flower petals and find the tip which looks like a spear head. Generously spread these spearheads all over your garden. Loosen soil with rack so they in ground( they don’t have to go deep. Maybe 1/2-1/4 inch. Water or let natural rain this you see sprouts. With this method they will grow like weeks everywhere. The zinnias grown in ground are so much more healthy than starting from seedling indoor. I’m no pro but this is what I do and it works great. This only my 3rd year with zinnias

Great video! Thanks for the information. I'm growing giant Zinias in pots.

My first time growing last year they hit about 7ft with constant blooms...they looked like elmo heads crazy and I entered them in a nearby fall fair and I got the blue ribbon it was so fulfilling!!!

Great information! Thanks for sharing!

This year my 50x5ft section of.zinnia had some sort of virus. They LITERALLY just turned black at about a foot tall..and moved across the bed in just a few days... ive grown them there about 7 years...no rotation is probably the biggest problem.....so i started a few around other areas..no problem...so beware...im so bummed..it was so beautiful people would take pictures.

Where did you get your seeds? Are they California Giants? I saw some huge 4" double blooms in a garden in Oregon today. They are gorgeous - I've never seen such huge zinnia blooms.

For indian flower seed contact me

👍

Is there a zinnia that is short-ish (3 feet tall) that has large blooms?

I have a question. How can I encourage a larger bloom? I love zennias, always have but I'd like bigger blooms. Any suggestions? Thank you for sharing your tips. I appreciate them.

Got to get your dirt right!

I save my seeds, and I have tons of zinnias

❤they love epsom salt..plain

Fabulous tips! Growing Benary’s Giant from seed for the first time. Fort Worth area.

My zinnias have all mixed together and I get different colors and varieties on each vine. My favorite flower for easy breezy landscaping. This is the first season I haven’t had to replant anything because my perennials are all coming back ❤

My Zinnias from seed are going gangbusters and I am super excited !

I love Zinnia's. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and I typically grow them every Year. Our Growing Season is much shorter than yours so I can't plant them outside until late April into early May. This Year I have Carousel Zinnia's and Cactus Mix.

Scott thank you very much for the info. I live in California and have a whole area out front of the house that is California Giant Zinnias sown straight in the ground. I highly recommend that you experiment with a section of Zinnias where you don't Foliage Spray and compare the difference after a couple of weeks. I think that you will find less Mildew in the non sprayed plants. I only feed the roots on my Zinnias. This is the only thing in my garden that I don't feed the Foliage . Thanks Again
