I need some help with Zinnias

8 years ago

I'm a first time Zinnia grower. I added compost to the soil before planting and have fertilized with fish emulsion regularly. The weather was rainy for a while in PNW so they grew slowly, but now several have what looks to be diseases


or pests. I've battled slugs constantly, and now cucumber beetles are on the leaves sometimes. Most are trying to bloom at about 6-8 inches tall. I did pinch back to two leaf sets initially. Some of them look healthy.

The varieties are: Queen Red Lime, Zinderella, Benary giant, and Senora. I was hoping for a lush cutting garden :(


Possible fertilizer burn on this one?
