My Zinnia’s are living their best life right now!
Every few days, I’m out there trimming them down, and I’ve got fresh bouquets all over the house.
These beauties have been blooming strong for five months, and they’ve totally transformed our front yard.
Talk about curb appeal! And guess what? Next year, we’re going BIGGER! We’re ripping out the whole curb strip and filling it with even more zinnias!!
If they’ve brought this much joy to me and my friends this year, why not spread even more flower power? 🌿✨
Trimming zinnias~
Find a fully bloomed flower.
Trace the stem down to where you see small new buds starting to grow.
Snip the stem just above the new buds.
Leave the buds intact—they'll soon grow into fresh blooms!
Trim every few days to keep your zinnias blooming and looking full!!

Growing flowers has quickly become one of the greatest joys in my life! Sowing seeds helps when the winter days feel a bit too bleak, and give me hope when the world is icy and cold.
I love learning about growing flowers and have had so much fun answering your questions over the last few weeks! I firmly believe that we all have the ability to grow beautiful blooms from seed and I’m thrilled to share what i’ve learned over the last few years 🌸

Where to source your dahlia tubers? Small local flower farms, of course! Many smaller farms sell off their extra tubers in spring so reach out to a local flower farmer, ask if they’re selling an my extras (and buy a community supported agriculture share for bouquets all season long if they offer one!).
Make sure you are buying from their stock and not divisions of imported tubers, which tend to have higher rates of dahlia diseases like leafy gall.
We also posted a video this week on our YouTube of 5 dahlia growing tips in 5 minutes, so if you want to do some dahlia squats this summer too,

If you don’t want your dahlias falling over the place, they need staking of some kind. This is my go-to method for supporting dahlias and I find it the easiest one out of the three that I’ve tried.
I use t-posts every 8 ft and then a strong bailing twine (polypropylene: you can try natural twine if you like, but it’s never held up for me.) with two rows wrapped around the T-posts to support the dahlias. It’s that simple! Just make sure you pull the twine really tight when you’re wrapping them.
If you have less than 30 dahlias, the best way is to use individual bamboo stakes to support each one. Just tying the dahlias to the stakes in a couple places works great!
Another option is to use hortonova netting over the t-posts (2 layers spaced 18 inches apart) and this might be a better option if you live in a high wind area… personally I’ve tried it and I can’t stand it: I find that it’s really difficult to harvest dahlia through the netting BUT, that’s just me. I know several farmers who prefer this method.
Save this to reference as your dahlias get taller and let me know if you have questions!
