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.

**UPDATED ZINNIA HOW-TO** czcams.com/video/IKZhRmvry9g/video.html
I recently found your channel and can't stop binge-watching!! I'm a new gardener and your monthly garden tours really help me understand when certain flowers come up, relative to one another.
Hooray! Welcome to the channel! :) :)
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!
I'm so glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
They are all so gorgeous!!! Zinnia are my absolute favorite cut flowers. 🥰 The Unicorn Mix !!!🤪 Love those antique tones.
I really like that one, too! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
I love zinnias .. In this days started blooming, I love Cactus Zinnias too.
At the end of winter, I always feel like my eyes are starved for color. After watching your video, I feel like I've just attended a banquet! And thanks to you, I've ordered about a dozen packets of zinnia seeds. Looking forward to summer. Thanks for this great video!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! Happy gardening! 🌱🌱🌱
Zinnias have become one of my favorite flowers to grow 🌼🌸they are amazing
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.
I just LOVE to watch all the birds and butterflies in the zinnias! 🌱🌱🌱
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.
Hooray! I just love zinnias - so easy and so cheerful looking! 🌱🌱🌱
Beautiful flowers! Thank you for your videos! The queen series, I’ve had my eye on those! Definitely next year.
They're so pretty! The queen lime orange zinnia is definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
I planted zinnias and I love them! I’m going to plant more next season, probably double what I did this year. Thanks for the video! Beautiful always!
I'll watch your videos,though i don't have full English. I like the videos about zinnia that you make. (i am from karnataka, india,)
I'm so happy I found this channel I'm in the same zone!
Hooray! Welcome to the channel! :) :)
I LOVE FLEUR ZINNIAS
Just wanted to let you know my seeds arrived! Thank you! I’m so excited 🤩 And thanks for the soap, it smells heavenly!!
Hooray! 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Happy Gardening! 🌱🌱🌱
FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden 😊 I’m going to get some zinnias planted right now (zone 9a) - I can’t wait to try the Benary’s! I have only ever grown the queen series and a few other randoms, but these look like they’ll be even more gorgeous! Thanks again!
I love your voice by the way. I usually can't stand videos that are just voiced -over, I guess I get bored? But I can watch yours! They really help me in learning me varieties!
Never knew all these fabulous colors existed, thanks so much!
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Try Envy green as innia. I use that instead of Benarys lime. Love zinnias!
Breath Taking ! Your so Inspiring as your Flowers ! Thank You !
Thank you so much for your kindness. 🌱🌱🌱
Your flowers are just beautiful. I really enjoyed your video.
Be nary' Giant Zinnias are the only type I grow now. They are mildew resistant with large flowers. The flowers are also long lasting.
Can you include in the faq video how you keep from getting powdery mildew.
4 tablespoonfuls of baking soda in a gallon of water dissolve and spray that in....
Glad you have found homes for your flowers. Those unicorn mix is to die for. You know we are going to have to get up at midnight the day they go on sale to get some. Mine are doing good also I planted Benary's giant mix and have picked a ton in the past couple weeks. I am going to deliver some today to relatives. They seem to enjoy them also.
That's so true! When her website opens for the sale, I'm already waiting! Lol! 🌱🌱🌱
Such beauty and so relaxing to see, Thank-you!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Do you harvest seeds from the zinnias? If so I would love to see a video of that,
I'll add that to my video list for fall! 🌱🌱🌱
The queen like orange is gorgeous! Thanks for showing your zinnia selection and your feedback on each variety.
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
I got some macarenia zinnias this year and they are a shorter variety but such a fun multi colored variety and I’m in love!
Absolutely stunning flowers. Thank you for wonderful video👍❤️
Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for this video love zinnias
Just found your channel, Beautiful zinnias! Love the queen lime, the salmons, the unicorn mix & the lime! I have one called "envy" zinnia that I love that looks like that lime!
Beautiful!
My favorite video! I've probably watched this like 10x already! Lol can't wait to see you zinnia tour for 2022!
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 :)
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! :)
Beautiful! ❤👍👍👍
Thanks for posting, I appreciate it.
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
wow! amazing
I love planting zinnias seeds also. I usually just buy the seeds from the big box stores, but I never really see seeds as beautiful as those ones.
Audrey Sweeney try seeds from Johnny seeds or Baker Creek. Both have website.
Your zinnias made me happy 😄
I'm so happy to know that! 🌱🌱🌱
Beautiful i love grow zinnias.
They're definitely one of my favorites! 🌱🌱
I enjoyed watching the Zinnias were beautiful
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Zinnias with us! I'm going to be growing them for the first time this year so it was so nice to see a video as opposed to just photos of the various colours. Thanks again! :)
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Zinnias are my new favorite flower! I’ve collected quite a few variety of seeds so next year I’m going to have a harvest like this!
So exciting! I love saving seeds. Happy gardening! 🌱🌱🌱
Spectacular flowers!! Wish there were blue zinnias.
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!
I'm so excited to grow the 'little flower girl' mix! 🌱🌱🌱
Absolutely 💯 Beautiful!
When you said you were going to buy 10 packets of the unicorn mix from “her” who are you referring too? Your flowers are gorgeous!!
At timestamp 12:40, she mentioned Floret’s Unicorn Mix. You can find that mix on this website when they have it in stock.
shop.floretflowers.com/collections/seeds?page=1&sort_by=title-descending
Am an old Sub.. Liked!!
The only bummer... I went to your website hoping you sell seeds of these Zinnias.. Johnny's was out of one of these I wanted..
Cheers to you and yours!! 🍀💕🌻🍻
Your photos and presentation were so beautiful and enjoyable. Thank you! Oh...and informative 🤗
Thanks so much for your kind comment! 🌱🌱🌱
Wow! Such beautiful flowers. I looked on Amazon for the Benary's Giant Zinnia seeds. I'm buying them, thanks to you.
I love Zinnias!
WOW best zinnia video ever. I had no idea they came in so many colors. This is flower porn! I love it. I love the faded colors too.
I need the 🦄 mix!!!!
I just wish that I had even more room for zinnias! Lol! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
I'm so jealous of your floret golden hours! Such a gorgeous color!
The color really is quite pretty! I'm eager to grow them again and see if the form improves. I think, maybe, I didn't give them enough sun last year. Thanks for watching! :)
You mentioned growing some in shade. Do Zinnias grow in part shade? Loved the video. Inspiring.
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 🌱🌱🌱
Absolutely gorgeous! I am growing them as well but I only have 1 bloom so far. Looking forward to more blooms. I am in the Boston area. I wish we had a longer growing season.
I am in the Boston area as well. North of Boston in my case. When did you sow your seeds?
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
Stunning colors! Do you save the seeds for next year, or you buy your zinnia seeds every year?
I do both. I'm saving a lot of seed this year! 🌱🌱🌱
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?
Love them all!! Where can I find the unique variety seeds?
I use Geoseed. 🌱🌱🌱
I was wondering why you buy more seeds instead of using the new ones? Great looking flowers btw. I’m new to them.
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?
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 planning on making an updated version of the ranunculus video in the fall. 🌱🌱🌱
So beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you for the video.
1. Do you fertilize your zinnias? If so, how often?
2. What about irrigation? Do you hand water them or set up drip irrigation system?
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.
Beautiful ! You have inspired me to grow zinnias from seed.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
When I buy seeds from the supermarket nurseries, they only say "Zinnias", never in detailed names. This is an eye opening!
The Orange Lime 😱😳❤️🌸. But my fav is still the Unicorn mix which after this video is probably going to be as difficult to find as a Unicorn! 🦄
I'm letting all the 'Unicorn' flowers go to seed right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to save lots of seed and see what grows next year. So exciting! 🌱🌱🌱
FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden that *IS* exciting! I’ll look for it on your seed shop! I hope you get lots of seeds and a really good mix out of them. That chartreuse color in the petals is breathtaking! 🦄🌸💕
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'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching! :)
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
i just found your channel love it..zinnas are one of my top favourite flowers in my garden so really loved watching this video. oh yes i did subscribed
Welcome to the channel! 🎉🙌 Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Belleza total. Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱
I got Candy Cane Zinnias from baker creek seed co. They do not taste like peppermint so zero stars for taste. Five stars for being unique.
Wow! Beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱
Your video was very informative. I liked the way you took the time to answer everyone’s questions. Karin, from Cleveland, OH.
Thank you for your kind comment! 🌱🌱🌱
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.
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. 🌱🌱🌱
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Your flowers are always gorgeous. I'll keep watching and learning.
These are lovely!
Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱
Wow! Fantastic! 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱
Wow!!
Love it!
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?
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! 🌱🌱
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🤪
Bacterial leaf spot is very common in zinnias and can cause those "ugly" leaves at the bottom of the plant. I have yet to find a way to prevent it, unfortunately. Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
My zinnias are finally blooming! I’ll pick different colors next year though. I picked the queen line series thinking my spouse would like the colors but nope it’s too antique fir him 😆
Lol! I've met a lot of people who really don't like them. 🌱🌱🌱
FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden he loves green hydrangeas do I thought he’d like the muted ones but no 😆 he’s so picky 😜
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 😊
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! 🌱🌱🌱
Really beautiful
Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱
How do you deal with the snails? This flower is one of their favourites.
Beautiful! You sure know how to grow em 😊. Where can I find the Unicorn mix for one ?
I bought the 'Unicorn Mix' from the Floret website. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I’m going to watch this one again and take notes! 😁
Beautiful!! How to I help keep my stems long after the first few cuttings?
As long as they're getting enough sun and are healthy, it seems like they have no trouble sending up new growth. 🌱🌱🌱
Do you feed your zinnias during the growing
season loved your zinnias learned a lot
I generally don't feed my zinnias, just lots of good quality compost when I'm preparing the beds in the spring. 🌱🌱
FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden thanks
How do you get long stems for cutting
Do you mulch around your zinnia plants
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. 🌱🌱🌱
Apologies if you've addressed this before: but why don't you sell some of your arrangements? They're beautiful.
My garden just isn't big enough to produce reliably. I'd love to sell some in the future if I'm ever able to move to a bigger place. 🌱🌱🌱
Where is the. Eat place to get zinnia seeds?? Love your zinnia…
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?
Do you ever have problems with zinnias getting black spots...I bought from a Amish greenhouse and some had mold in a few days and the others had black on their leaves....
Love your vlogs and I sent your one on zinnias to The Stivers you tube site because Zack loves them...also they are Kentuckians...
I'll have to check them out! Yes, spots can be an issue for a few reasons. I actually have a detailed video coming in the next few weeks. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Thank you for this visually stunning and informative video! Is there a dark red zinnia variety which is a true dark red? 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. I hope you have a bountiful season!
Is it important to distance when planting zinnia especially the larger Zinnias ?
So excited to find this video as I bought quite a few of these varieties!! Can I winter sow these? I'm zone 5b
Yes, I winter sow my zinnias about two weeks before my last frost date. They're quick growing and frost tender, so I definitely wait until much later than some other plants. Hope that helps. Happy gardening!
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?
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! 🌱🌱
Your flowers are breathtaking with beauty and nature. Is there a particular fertilizer you use and do you direct sow them. I have grown zinnias this year for the first time but for some reason the blooms aren't as big as they were in front of package. I grew state fair and cut and come.
I don't fertilize my zinnias, rather just make sure that the soil has lots of healthy finished compost at planting time. If the flowers are small, I would check that they're getting enough sun and water. Both can be an issue. Good luck! 🌱🌱🌱
Your zinnias are absolutely gorgeous!!! Do you ever have problems with earwigs?
I've never had an issue with earwigs. However, cucumber beetles are a major problem in my yard. 🐛🐛🐛
Ok! Thank you!
you have beautiful zinnias!! could you please where did you order the unicorn zinnias? thank you
Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱 shop.floretflowers.com/products/zinnia-unicorn-mix
What spacing do you use when planting your zinnias? And do you pinch when they're younger to encourage branching? Seeing your space always helps since we're just north of the river in Ohio.
Since my yard is so small, I plant really close - like 6 inches between each plant. The flower blooms are a little smaller at this spacing, but I'm able to get tons of flowers in a tiny space. 🌱🌱🌱
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
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.
