Notes From The Garden
...
Nip out the initial bud to encourage branching and bloom production. Although I don't find it necessary as Zinnia are so productive anyway.
Early stems can be short but elongate as the summer progresses. 1st flowers are like pancakes, it takes a few blooms to really get into their stride.
Zinnias have a fabulous vase life, but make the water dirty quickly, so change daily if possible.
