Zinnias Why are they dying?

I bought Zinnias this spring and put some in garden and some in pots. I have watered them consistently and fertilized them as well but they are slowly dying. I have them in sunny places. Any one have any clues as to where I may have gone wrong?

Zinnias Why are they dying?
Mine started dying off... My Mom told me to pluck off the dead head of the flower. I did and about a week later, I had fresh new blooms. Try it!





And as far as where they are- Zinnias LOVE the sun. They just happen to have a short span where they remain lush.
Reply:too much water? are the leaves yellow?





too hot? are the leaves curled?





to much fertilizer? have they just lived out theri growing cycle?





sorry those are my best guesses
Reply:Have they already flowered and gone to seed? Some zinnias are annual and die as a natural part of their growth cycle.





How are they dying? Wilting? Turning yellow and then brown? Any evidence of pests?
