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.

@rodwilliamson7233 4 года назад

Rookie question: I want to bring some of my zinnias into the house as cut flowers. When I cut (pinch) them as you demonstrate, the stems are often too short for the vase. Can I nip the stems off deeper down the stalk and still get the doubling, reblooming impact?

@yourfriendlycook 3 года назад

That was a terrific video, doing zinnias for the fist time at 69 years old. Almost the only thing I have tried from seeds that actually took from seed. Was inspired and so much great info. Thanks a whole heap, much appreciated!

@TONYAwiththeflowers 3 года назад

I'm so glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

@teresasuderman2199 4 года назад

Beautiful as always! I had never grown zinnias before but after watching your beautiful videos, I just had to this year. They are coming slowly but the flowers I have had are super gorgeous and I am enjoying them very much. I don't have buckets of them but even 1 or 2 make such an impact on a bouquet.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

@seedsaverdiane5636 4 года назад

Zinnia is my most favorite annual. When I die and my family has my memorial I hope that Zinnias will cover my urn. Lol. I grow zinnias every year. I haven’t tried the Benary Series and will order some for next year. I did try the Queen Lime Orange this year and am a bit disappoint so far. I’ll give them more time to mature. Can I save the seed from the Benary series or are they a hybrid and will not come true from seed?

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

All the info that I've been able to find says that Benary's are open pollinated. I may save some seeds this year and see what I get. The bees do A LOT of cross pollinating in my yard. Lol! 🌱🌱

@kazbee8546 4 года назад

You mentioned growing some in shade. Do Zinnias grow in part shade? Loved the video. Inspiring.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

Yes, several of my beds get deep shade for a good part of the afternoon. It's a bit of trial and error. Too much shade and they wont bloom, but they do well with just the right amount 🌱🌱🌱

@indie8189 4 года назад

Can you do a vid on your success with Bells of Ireland and ranunculus? I know you have done one before, but can you give a little more detail, if that’s even possible. I didn’t do very well with my ranunculus this season and I want to grow Bells this year. Thanks again! Oh, and I meant direct sow OR start in trays inside, regarding the zinnias.

I'm growing zinnias for my butterfly/hummingbird garden.I have orange king,scarlet flame,oriole,purple prince,state fair,canary yellow and forecast oh and california gaints.I have a lot that I've turned into a garden.All of my zinnia are flowering and over 4 feet tall.I love seeing the hummingbirds,gold finches and butterflies.I prefer the daisy/coneflower shape zinnia blooms over fully double because they attracted more pollinators.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

What do you do about bugs? I have had a problem with white flies. I've sprayed many times.. I've also found some other bugs that I don't know what they are.. Kind of reminds me of cockroach ,only very small? I don't know. Any ideas? I ❤️ zinnias also. Very happy, long lasting flower that doesn't disappoint. Thanks for sharing your 🌼 s.

@madelinerivera7445 7 месяцев назад

Just found you! This is a great video. Love how you explained each Zinnia and how they performed. Hoping you would answer my question. I noticed that you said you would order more seeds again, however, if you collected them from the flowers you already have, wouldn't that save you money and would they come back like they originally were?

@MARIASILVA-fn6no 3 года назад

Que belo. Mesmo entender o que fala eu vi todo o vídeo. Amo as flores zinia. Aqui no Brasil conhecida também como Flor Capitão. Mas nunca tinha visto com tantas cores diferentes. Aqui também nunca vi as zinia gigante. Como gostaria de ter sementes de todas estar cores de zinia e ter sementes da zinia gigante . Sucesso . Escrevi no seu canal e dei like

@itsteganyay 3 года назад

Thanks for the video! I gave zinnias one shot when I first started gardening, and I hated the result, though it was surely due to my own ignorance. I picked a variety called peppermint stick, and I hated how unpredictable the coloration was. Most had the occasional bright solid red petal rather than the light red speckles on white that I expected. I also had no idea that I had to support them, and so the stems were curved and snake-like. Overall the plants felt scraggly. Yours however, look lovely and make me want to try again with a different variety (probably the benary's giant salmon). I'll also check out your FAQ before planting :)

@TONYAwiththeflowers 3 года назад

Some varieties will definitely be more dependable than others. Benary's giants are some of my favorites - lots and lots of strong stems. Good luck! :)

@beka19743 6 месяцев назад

@andreawalsh6438 Год назад

I was wondering about seeds, you mentioned how the Benarys Giants were more expensive,and mentioned buying more of certain ones when a sale came up. Why not just save seeds? Do you not get enough? Are they not as good for some reason?

I generally don't feed my zinnias, just lots of good quality compost when I'm preparing the beds in the spring. 🌱🌱

@NancySomersVT 4 года назад

FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden thanks How do you get long stems for cutting Do you mulch around your zinnia plants

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

The more stems you cut, the taller the plants become. After the second cutting, stems should be very long. As for mulch, I use weed barrier fabric. 🌱🌱🌱

Beautiful! You grow so many zinnias do you ever save the seeds for the following year? If so would you get the same beautiful color? Thanks 😊

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

I save some zinnia seeds every year. Since I grow so many colors, the seeds are usually pretty diverse because of the bees helping to cross pollinate everything. Always a pretty surprise! 🌱🌱🌱

@andreap5012 4 года назад

Rookie question, when you cut the flowers do leave some on the same plant, or do you cut all the flowers from a plant at the same time. :)

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

That's a great question! Each plant will have flowers at various stages of maturity. I only pick the ones that are completely open and ready to be used in a vase. If you pick them too soon or too late, they're much more likely to wilt. Good luck!

@lisamcgovern7531 4 года назад

My zinnias are always plagues with pests or powdery mildew (I'm in MD zone 6b/7a). I would love to hear how yours stay so nice and the foliage stays so green.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

The main thing that really helped me with powdery mildew was to make sure not to wet the leaves when watering - especially over night. Otherwise, I don't treat for bugs or anything. 🌱🌱🌱

Love your vlogs and I sent your one on zinnias to The Stivers you tube site because Zack loves them...also they are Kentuckians...

@TONYAwiththeflowers Год назад

I usually use one layer, about 2 ft. high. I hope that helps! 🌱🌱🌱

@care7663 3 года назад

Could you help me to try to get an idea of how many I should plant, for my cut garden next year? If I planted 6 plants of each color, about How many stems would you say that would give me a day or week? Or about how many do you get a week & how many plants is that from?

@TONYAwiththeflowers 3 года назад

It's really hard to say how many plants. I think ten of each color would be a really good starting point. Lots of options, too! Good luck! 🌱🌱

@gapey 4 года назад

I never heard of people getting de-monitized for that. I'm growing mostly queen lime series this year. Also have a pink senorita that I grew last year. I think that salmon colored one is my fav too. Do you save seeds? If so do you find that they cross pollinate with each other? The unicorn mix is pretty neat too.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 4 года назад

Yes, they seem to cross pollinate like crazy. It's still fun though - I love the surprise varieties I get. Lol!

I see that there are Benary's Scarlet, Benary's Deep Red, and some other red varieties, but often colors look very different on media than live, so I am having a hard time deciding which, if any, of these red varieties to buy.

@velerialangbehn6088 3 года назад

How do you keep the leaf spot out if them.? Mine get it every year.

@TONYAwiththeflowers 3 года назад

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to avoid leaf spot diseases. There are a few different causes - both bacterial and fungal. I've mainly read that it can be introduced by contaminated seed or spread from leftover garden debris - which is why I never compost the zinnias. I also avoid overhead watering and keep the foliage as dry as possible. This seems to help slow things down. Thanks for watching!

@ChuckKnightTaylor 3 года назад

Love your Zinnia video. I'm thinking of planting a bed of Benary Giants. My question is are these a better cut flower and one that you would not recommend as a bed flower? Thanks

@TONYAwiththeflowers 3 года назад

Benary's Giants get very, very tall - over 6ft here in my yard. Also, the foliage can start looking really rough by the end of the season, and may not be very pretty in the landscape. They may also need to be staked, as they can start falling over. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

@@TONYAwiththeflowers Thank you for your very prompt reply. Would initial pinching help to maintain a more manageable height? I did see your video that included the landscape netting. I did plan on supporting the flowers.

I grew zinnias for the first time and I just cut some for a inside vase but I have no idea what type they are.

Hi been watching for a few months, love to watch. Zinnias-I have not grown any for years BECAUSE seems as if bottom 2/3 of plant stems/leaves always looked ugly with lots of brown spots, etc. and honestly never liked the FEEL of stems. Yours look so wonderfulLy beautiful I want to go for it again. Also I’m one one those people who seldom cut my flowers, It just hurt to think about that🤪

You can definitely trim them back a little bit. I have a video about pinching that might be helpful, as it explains the branching habit a little more. 🌱🌱🌱

Hey from Virginia zone 7a- this is the fifth time viewing this video and have added it to my 'liked' collection; thank you for sharing. I love zinnias in the vegetable garden, this is my second growing them as a side complement to a 8 year old vegetable plot. I grew wedding white last year but wanted something taller than could stand up to the vegetables I grow; so went with the giant lime and had the same experience of early dirty centers you address in this video, nonetheless I love them and will replant them next year. Hope to hear your posts of your giant limes in 2021.

I couldn’t get Golden Hour from Floret, but I did get Unicorn Mix and Little Flower Girl to add to my various Benary’s colors and Queen Lime series. I learned a lot last year, my first year winter sowing, and have a better plan for this year’s cutting garden! I’m so excited!
