When to Grow

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Powdery mildew is a common pest of zinnias. The powdery fungus will appear on both tops and bottoms of foliage and occurs in hot, dry weather.
  • To treat, routinely spray leaves with a hose or neem oil to knock powdery mildew spores from foliage.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow the flowerhead containing the seeds to mature and dry on the plant.
  • Clip off the flowerhead and place in a container.
  • Working over the top of another clean, opened container, rub the flowerheads between the palms to break them apart.
