    Hi there, I've posted a link in your post about hydrangeas that may help you out with your zinnias. :-D

    In Texas I sow Zennia seed all over the place and they care for themselves.The easiest plant I ever had and they bloom and bloom.

    I agree, zinnias grow as well as weeds here.

    I find that my Zinnia's are the happiest when I ignore them! Too much water or fertilizer and they rebel by not producing blooms.
