Seed Talk #52 - Zinnia Challenges with Florist Ellen Frost

Have you ever struggled with unpredictable zinnia vase life, weak necks, or complete "zinnia meltdown"? Wondering if there is anything you can do as a grower to help prevent these issues from occurring? Today, Lisa and Layne are joined by florist Ellen Frost of Local Color Flowers to discuss some of the challenges she faces using zinnias in her designs. In this farmer / florist troubleshooting session, they cover cooler confusion and challenges, whether or not it is necessary to change bucket water daily, unpredictable vase life, browning petal tips, weak necks, and total zinnia meltdown. Listen to the podcast and learn how to deal with a myriad of zinnia issues!
