That’s interesting that sowing that late worked well and direct sowing too. I am trying a totally different approach this year and sowing them really early as our best weather was June last year and following that it was just a really wet cool summer that the zinnias did not like at all.
Definitely not a daft question! When I was pinching them out I normally would have done just that to try and get some new plants rooting but I am going away for a couple of weeks so they would never have survived without being looked after and kept moist. Let me know how you get on if you try it!
These videos are always so informative! I'm new to growing zinnias from seed so all of this is great info for me 👍 I always wonder how people get beautiful lush zinnias. I've never been able to get them to look like that, but now I will, thank you ❤️
Hi, thanks for watching 🙂 That’s interesting to know that zinnias do well for you in Alberta. What time of year do you start your zinnia seeds off? Do you have a fairly short growing season?
Super, only time I had pretty Zinnias in wet & cool Northern Germany 7b when started them in July directly

Great video as always Catherine thank you.
Thanks Susan, fingers crossed for some nice Zinnia flowers to show you later on in the summer! X
such great ideas im going to pinch out and wait to see if that works here in our short summers
Thanks so much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it and hopefully the pinching out will help you get some great flowers next year.
Catherine, daft question. What if you got rooting powder and replanted the part that you snipped out, would it work? I'm by far no expert lol. 😊

I hope you get lots of lovely zinnias later in the summer. I am keeping my fingers crossed I will get some new varieties coming into flower too x
I'm in central Alberta, a 3b/4 zone. Zinnias grow well here.
