Post #3735447

This is my second year growing Zowie Zinnas and they have done well in my yard except this year the birds are eating the petals off some of the flowers. It is kind of funny but strange that they do not touch the other zinnas. Has this happened to anyone else?

I started the seeds indoors under lights last March and fertilized 3 or 4 times with Algoflash and they are huge. Allow for space if you decide to grow them for next year. I had to stake a couple of mine after the last rain shower . They are disease resistant and hybrids so they will not reseed. I purchased one pack this year from Burpee Seeds and had good germination with them. I plan to grow them again next year.
