Love you all! Understand zinnia trouble totally. Oddly, we direct seeded (into landscape fabric where they would "live"). Those plants have been an Incredible Improvement over what we start in trays. Our "tray babies " look & grow well, but the direct seed are just better, healthier, & more productive! Also a Ton less work than starting in trays. ( ThreeStrands; NW AR, year 2)

I too, have a love hate relationship with Zinnias! They take me longer to harvest than any other flower I grow. The lighter colors seem to brown out quicker. The Oklahomas are very petite, My favorite to grow and behave the best is Uproar Rose Zinnia!

Your videos are so helpful -- and fun! I am a small scale flower farmer in 8a, so your info is so relevant! Could you please describe your tunnel soil prep and fertilizing during the growing season? I think that you mentioned, in another video, bringing in compost and foliar feeding until blooms set, but also that your farm's soil is naturally wonderful. Anything in particular for lizzies, ranunculus, snaps? Thanks so much for your videos.

So true about Zinnia's... if the plant is healthy they will be great in bouquets, in my experience. This year I pinched them before planting and planted them in early May, a week after last frost. They are the strongest I have grown. The plant is shorter, but the stems are 24 inches at least. Full sun and water.. the soil dries fast. Have you ever tried salvia's they smell great and ok to use cooler. Thanks for all the " banter" cats and humor.. ❤❤

I am in zone 8 I planted sunflowers back in April they still haven’t bloomed! I also had to pull lots of them because they got fungus due to the very wet and cool conditions we had this year. I just planted a succession of sunflowers we shall see how they do.
@3kidmamaКүн бұрын
I'm a cool climate grower and am finding out that the 50/60day sunflowers planted in Spring are taking much longer than the packet maturity dates. I think the soil temp, day temp as well as and day length affect their rate of development too. We had a cool spring (not frost) with lots of overcast days and rain in contrast to the sunny early summer we experienced last yr. My procut sunflowers have been in ground for 52days already and we are still about 2wks away from harvesting a bloom. I"m learning that perennials are what will most likely be the blooms to use between that Spring to Summer lag time.
@Juliet-ej3gcКүн бұрын
Do you think the soil temp is what makes the difference in the sunnies? Even first year growing in NC mts I saw this with the bloom time on the zinnas I did. I sowed really early and the second later sow came on sooner then my first planting. I wonder if you covered or green house grew if you wouldn't have better results in timing? I am going to attempt to cattle panel and plastic "green house" my fall sunnies to see if I can get them through Indian summer and reuse same scenario for spring. Just a thought?

YES. From Zone 8a flower farmer: I grew sunflowers in my hoop house this summer on a whim in June to fill a spot. Overall it worked fine. However, the ones on the south side shaded the ones on the north side. I was too busy to run some rope to corral those, so they flopped over into a mess. But this tells me that next spring, before I put on shade on the house, I could do an early crop of sunflowers, likely transplants, to grow some for early spring and Mother's Day sales.

This is my first year growing, and i started with zinnias as recommended by so many as a first-timer. I loved them at first, but they are now just covered with different worms. Some are tiny. Some are huge. They kook beautiful from a distance, and then as i walk through, I see all the flaws. The quality is definitely declining. I am sorry you are having some of the same thoughts as me, but it's encouraging to hear that it's not just me. I started hearing negative thoughts in my little brain like "if you can't keep zinnias healthy, you might as well quit" 😭. Thank you for sharing! I love your videos! ❤

You might be able to do a fall plant for your zone since they are very cold tolerant. I don’t know for plugs how that works though. I’m zone 6 and I started mine from seed and planted out in march. I covered with frost cloth if we got below 20 and mine survived.
