When do Zinnias usually bloom?

are these not the easiest flowers to grow?





is Foxglove as easy?





can you combine the two in the same area or not?





why ?

When do Zinnias usually bloom?
I planted my zinnias sort of late, in a mixture of the soil that was already there, some potting soil, and cow manure,


on the sunny side of the garage, and watered them every day.


They bloomed from early July until almost Hallowe'en.





BTW I live in northern Indiana, about three miles south of the Michigan border.
Reply:Zinnias bloom in the summertime.





Ziinnias are sun lovers. Foxgloves can tolerate full sun but mine seem to prefer partial sun.





I have 0 ( zero ) luck growing Zinnias.
Reply:July-October


Digitalis (Foxgloves) are biennials
Reply:Summertime for zinnias. Foxgloves like it cooler.
Reply:Zinnias typically bloom in late summer in most areas and they are not difficult to grow. They are similar to most annuals.


Foxglove is a biennial that blooms in its second season unless you purchase a mature plant from a garden center. They can grow together with proper spacing, about 18" between the plants. Plant the foxglove behind the zinnias because the flower spike is high and will be framed well between the lower zinnias.





Best of luck
Reply:Zinnia's...can also re-seed...


My Zinnia's bloom in July and are still around in November.


Butterflies love Zinnia's too!!


Foxglove like partial sun.


And yes you can grow Foxglove with Zinnia's...Zinnia's will live in partial sunlight, but the blooms will be smaller.


Foxglove and Zinnia's and Black eyed Susan's...Shasta Daisy's make a wonderful companions!!





Good luck with your flowers...Happy Gardening!!
Reply:zinnias grow like weeds so keep them seperated and i have had luck planting them early in the spring even late winter they grow very easily
