Zinnias have a reputation for being a bit of a difficult flower but this week’s guest, Kori from Dawn Creek Farm, tells us all her secrets to getting the best out of them especially when growing for cut flowers. Kori is also an extraordinary breeder of new flower varieties and zinnias are one of her specialities. She’s developed a range of the most perfect pinkish coloured blooms and is a hit with flower farmers across America. She gives us all her tips for breeding including how to get a better chance of those elusive cupcake heads! If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving us a review!
