Pinch | When plants are about 20cm - 30 cm tall, take sharp pruners or your fingers and snip the top off just above where two leaves should emerge. I always say look for a V shape the cut above that V. |

Uses | Excellent cut flowers. The more you cut the more blooms you get. |
Netting | In my opinion - nets are needed for straight stems. |
Harvesting Tips | To tell whether a zinnia is ready to harvest, use the “wiggle test.” Cut low into your Zenia above the V for it to produce long stems. You will sacrifice some buds but the more you cut the more it blooms. |
