What I've Learned About Cosmos and Zinnias for U-Pick Flowers

This is our first year growing cosmos for u-pick flowers (and just our 2nd year doing u-pick flowers) and we've found the cosmos to be a standout performer in the garden. Though there a few tricks to growing and maintaining cosmos, we've found them to be pretty easy over all to grow.

The zinnias grew even better for us this year than last year because we got the fertilization right. The wiggle test for zinnias has helped us harvest zinnias at the appropriate time to get the best vase life.
