And if you didn’t plant any yet, you have time! Zinnias grow SO fast, I planted a new patch of zinnia seeds last week and they’re already germinating and growing.

Want more blooms on your zinnias? Here’s my lazy girl tip: when your zinnias have 4 true sets of leaves, pinch (or cut) off the top set right down to the top of the remaining 3rd set. 🌱✨

Yes it’s scary , and yes you can cut off a bud, but I promise it’s worth it!

👩‍🌾Some gardeners swear by pinching, while others say it’s optional. 

😉For me, it’s all about personal preference. I rarely pinch my zinnias because I pack them in close, and they still grow huge and beautiful! 💚🌼 But in bare spots I will pinch! 

My first year I did not pinch mine because I didn’t know I should… and they were still gorgeous.
