We have zinnias growing all over our community garden to draw in the pollinators. All shapes and sizes volunteer themselves year after year.
The aphids love my zinnias!
My zinnias did great this year and attracted a lot of butterflies. Down side is the butterflies laid their eggs on my passion fruit vine and I'm picking the caterpillars off every day.
Hey, I grew zinnias 2 times in the past and they were all different colors, but this year I used the same seeds and ALL of them were only orange. Is there a reason for that?
For many years now my wife has planted a 14 foot strip of zinnias at one end of our garden. Once they're blooming they are constantly visited by birds, hummingbirds, insects and bees.
Still loving the 'dynamic entrances.'
Zinnias and coneflowers are some of my favorite flowers to grow.
This spring I threw $2 worth of zinnia seeds into my garden and they have grown into a bush bigger than my kitchen table. Highly recommend growing them from seed.
I grows zinnias every year here in New Jersey and every year I have problems with powdery mildew. Seems like they are prone to this. But, I grow them anyway.
In TX, my zinnias are notorious for mold! Arrrgh!
I planted California giants this year, and I see all kinds of butterflies (even monarchs!) on them all the time!
I keep trying but i dont know. South florida is too humid and they get mildew and attacked by insects. :(. Maybe this coming fall and winter
Another tip for seed saving if you know that you have goldfinches in your area, be sure to bag up the spent flower that you want to save your seed from so it can fully mature up. i often see quite a lot of my zinnia flowers torn to bits from the goldfinches picking the immature seed out of them.
Yes this, more flowers please!
Can you do a spotlight on hibiscus, tropical, and hardy variety???? It’s their season here in Canada
Ok this is a definite for me (& pollinators) for next year!
I just plant some I grew from seed. I was worried about the heat wave we’re in right now but they’re doing great.
Is this flower fine to be grown within equatorial tropical climate? Or are there more challenges there?
The next door neighbor always has a long bed of zinnias that grow between our two driveways and they are the brightest spot on the block, mind you were in Albuq and have a lot of zero scape. He buys his seeds from a high quality company then saves his seeds each year, three years ago I planted a bunch of seeds from his harvest and had a beautiful garden. They need to be watered every day. Thanks for the video you tip on where to cut the flower is very helpful.
are the ones in yr bed, the double headed full zinnia a dwarf variety. Mine are in a planter & the stems are taller than me.
