best video on cut flowers i've seen YET!
This was so awesome. Thank you very much. I like your teaching method with the visual images…2 thumbs up😊
I literally love growing zinnias!! People walking past my property often stop and take photos of my flower field 🤩🤩🤩 I only grow small scale and just for myself to pick and give to friends. I’m not a florist by any means 😆 and not a farmer either (yet). Maybe one day I can grow on a larger scale and sell to florists but for not it’s just good for my soul.
Thank you so much for the info. I am in Zone 7b. I thought I was about to be to late to start seed for Zinnias. Its 2 weeks into May. Planting now. 🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾
Such a lovely video! Thanks so much! ❤ I'm just a hobby gardener, but I love to get reliable information from the experts. Zinnias are my absolute favorites! I bought 4 packets of semi dwarf pumila mixed Zinnia seeds for $1 from my local dollar store, and they were the talk of my neighborhood! I was able to cram 4 plants together in 8" planters, they bloomed their heads off until frost! Gardening is fun already, but getting the most bang for our buck, is a whole different feeling! Everyone should begin gardening with flowers like Zinnias ❤❤❤ these are feel-good flowers even for the black-thumbed!
Oooh, I'm down the road from you guys. I'll look around and see what u offer for teaching.
Wonderful! You can see all our online classes here: www.butterbeefarm.com/onlineclasses/2022/12/2/flower-gardening-with-butterbee, and we are launching our Plant Shop (unique seedlings for flower gardens) on Monday!
I’m so excited! Great info for a new hobby flower farmer who’s trying to figure it all out. I still work as a paramedic and have a million other responsibilities so it makes it difficult to read an endless book recommendation list. I learned SO much here! Thank you!!! 💚
That makes me so happy to hear!! It truly makes my day!!!
thank you!
This was so awesome and helpful! Thank you for all the info. Looking forward to more videos.

Great information for someone like me who is a beginner who is starting a small home cut flower garden. ❤thank you
That makes me so happy to hear!!
I’ve just found your channel and I’ve got to say it’s one of the best for giving clear, no nonsense information. I live in the UK and have tried to grow zinnia the last two years and have been very disappointed. However,I’m not one to give in so I’ve got more seeds and I’m trying again this year following your instructions. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for the kind words!! :)
Thank you this was so very helpful and gracious for you to provide us!
Awesome presentation. I learned a lot. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the great information and tips. I planted zinnias for the first time back in 2022 and now I'm hooked. I do like the Oklahoma series and they did perform well last year, but I guess I prefer flowers that are larger in scale.
Great tips on the staking!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful tips, thanks for sharing
@@veleriasingletary3556 So glad to hear that! :)
Thank you for all the great information and tips!
What a informative video. Your tips and tricks I will apply to my growing and harvest this year of zinnias and sunflowers. Thanks for sharing. Happy gardening!!
Wonderful thank you!!
Wow so much great information, thank you 🙏
Whey is good for powdery mildew.
Does blood meal work on repelling ground hogs?
Great video! Do you use that twine method for lisianthus too??
Thanks so much!! We use a different method for lisianthus- I'm teaching an online class about lisianthus soon, you can see details here! www.butterbeefarm.com/gardening/flower-gardening-with-butterbee
Bonjour! Petite question: si je veux semer mes Zinnia à l’intérieur. Je devrais avoir de la lumière. Combien d’heures pour le début des semis? Et pour l’extérieur, qu’elle est le temps de lumière le plus performant? J’ai essayé les leds rose lorsque le plant avait 6 pouces…. J’adore avoir quelques plants de zinnia sur mon terrain. Pour les tournesol, j’aime moins à cause de la visite des ratons laveur. Merci de me répondre.
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. Does the bloodmeal work to deter squirrels from jumping up to eat my sunflower blooms. Last summer the squirrels raged war on my flowers and ate every single sunflower bloom. I was so sad!
That is super sad! I'm not sure that blood meal would deter squirrels, but it's certainly worth a try!
i have tried zinnias but they never did well for me. i always had problems with earwigs .
Hi there,
I was wondering if you direct sow or start in trays? I have a big bird issue where they pull up my flower and vegetable seedlings as soon as they pop out of the ground.😩
Sometimes we direct seed sunflowers, but for the most part we seed sunnies and zinnias into trays first. We can protect them better in our propagation house! I'd suggest checking out our "Overwintering Flowers for Spring Bloom" video to learn how you can use remay (frost cloth) over plants. You can do this in the summertime too to protect young seedlings from birds! Just make sure to get the thinnest remay available so the plants don't get too hot!
