They ARE the gateway for sure, I love seeing the ones that come back every year. Thank you for the seasonal color idea, you’re the best!!

I'm zone 8 also but in the Pacific Northwest with very cool springs. So the EARLIEST they will get going is now in June! I have started them indoors but I found that due to the cool long spring it wasn't a great advantage--they sat there. Those i seeded directly in the ground when it got nice and warm almost caught up as far as starting to bloom. But once they start, they bloom for me all the way to October and amazingly I have not had issues with powdery mildew! So it all evens out!

Awwww Amanda your so kind!!! I didn't know that about zinnias but maybe that's why I'm so drawn to them. I teared up and had to pause the video before watching the rest, thanks for thinking of me gardening friend!!!

I love Zinnias too! In my Zone 5b/6a area, I have the best luck starting them inside. They do really well, but Japanese Beetles can do a number on them. Picking the buggers off and dumping them in soapy water is not fun, but is the way I’ve found to try and keep the numbers down. 😊

Thank goodness for zinnias! They are a game changer in the garden!

Zinnias provide low-stress joy. Always nice to have so many flowers you can give them to friends. This year I’m trying seeds from Floret. Last year I grew ‘profusion’ zinnias, not knowing they had short stems. Beautiful though not great for cut flowers.

[ValTownMSDelta]

Yay! Thank you for doing a whole video on zinnias!... They're my favorite too!

I love the candy stripes! I have some that I will be planted this year

[lavonnajovanovich]

I think I'll try zinnias this year. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[kriskeuler]

I’m glad I found you ❤❤❤ I too ❤❤❤ zinnias 🥰

[natashaslipscomb]

This is my first time planting zinnias, but the pictures of Polar Bear (white zinnia) stole my heart.

[gritandGracegardening]

I started zinnias for my first time this year from seed. I learned a lot in this video. Thanks again!!

[michellepollino]

Love Zinnias ❤. I have never grown the lime green ones, they are gorgeous. I grow zinnias, I just throw the seeds out in my flower beds once the temps are good and they grow, look amazing.

[noradunlap]

I love zinnias too!! Those lime colored ones are Gorgeous! TFS! Blessings!🦋🦋

That Benary’s Giant Wine is stunning. 😍😍😍

Thank you for this video! While I have been growing zinnias for several years, I found the tips super helpful.

🎉I was going to start zinnias with the winter sewing method but a bunch of life happened😢 and I wasn't able to get started on that. I am now inspired to start a few different varieties. I think this video gave me the information I need. Thanks, and happy gardening!!😊❤

[litaapreston]

Thank you so much for this video. It is perfect timing. I’m so excited to get my Zinnias into the ground. I have so many varieties. Thanks for the reminder to do some succession sewing with them as well since I am in zone 8B I want to try to have some flowers through the summer. 🤞🤞 I did not realize that zinnias were representative of remembrance so I think I am going to name my garden after my two best friends where I used live. I miss them so much. We used to go to coffee every Saturday and celebrated every holiday together.

[AngieBrittHEC]

I'm trying all the things this years! Zinnias are on the list!! Lol Thanks for all the tips!

[sharonhart]

I love zinnias. I'm growing short to tall lol I already have a few blooming out in the garden that I started from seed.
