Positive	herbman75	On Jul 13, 2004, herbman75 from Cornelia, GA wrote: I started these plants outdoors in my vegatable garden in a spot where some green peppers had failed in early June, plants are now about 10 inches tall on July 12th, did not even cover the seed with soil and all are growing vigorously, no blooms yet due to the late start but I will upload one soon! Seed package says it grows over 2 feet tall. Unsure of water needs because it has been unusually wet in Georgia this summer, but from everthing I know about Zinnias it should be as drought tolerant as the rest.
