Zinnias: The Perfect Flower to Grow in Your Garden?
video description
Flowers for a video? Perennials there's too many options, but in SoCal Cleveland sage is an absolute must in a polinator or scent garden.
Lippia/kurapia are really nice ground cover lawn replacements in the verbena family that bees LOVE. It's a cool plant but it would take a lot of time to have a spot ready to do a video on it.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

I grew zinnias for the first time this year! I started a whole tray of flower seeds then ran out of time before a trip. After probably 3 weeks of total and utter neglect I expected everything to be dead but the zinnias persevered! Popped them in the ground and they've been producing like crazy. My new favorite, for sure.

I love zinnias so much! Cut them as you desire during the growing season. At the end of the season, let the flowers die and dry up - super easy to break them up and sprinkle the seeds where they lie. I had several years of zinnia growth in my front flower bed by doing nothing more that that.

Thank you for this video Kevin. I do grow zinnia but never knew where the seed was. I always just threw the whole spent flowers around in the garden and hoped to get some next year. I always did but at least now I know where the seed is. Keep on growing.

I love them too. I have a Zinnia plant that is 42 and it looks reddish orange only to open a beautiful pink. My are the what you called double head. A flower within a flower. I am on what I call my second bloom because of pruning them as you showed.

I am in South Florida and all of my Zinnias end up with fungus on the leaves. I even have drip irrigation, but between the rains and the humidity, the fungus is inevitable. I still grow them because the bees and butterflies love them.

thanks for showing how to get the seeds if you dont mind doing more of that it would be amazing and help people not rely on big companies to get seeds from just incase the price of them goes through the roof like food

I had zinnias last year and I've never seen more pollinators in my life than what I had that year! I missed out planting them (I had a ton of cosmos though) this year, but I am definitely planting them next year!

Candy Stripe zinnias are a cool heirloom variety. The mix I got from Baker Creek seeds includes red/white, pink/white, and a really vibrant orange/yellow variety. The petals of these zinnias are bi-colour.

I've grown zinnias every year for many years and I seed-save so haven't bought any zinnia seeds for many years. The little gild finches and hummingbirds love them as well as the bees and butterflies

Where I live they always get some sort of fungal issue and don't look that nice for very long, but they still do ok and come back over and over. My climate is super humid and warm all year.

Zinnia is pronounced Zeen-e-ya. Momma B is old, do I know how to say it. Your Zinnias are beautiful. Its wonderful to see color in gardens and yards, and yours are just popping the color.
