Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Sep 03, 2011Hi Richard, Zinnias are "full sun" flowers, however Florida's "full sun" may be too much sun. You may try providing some shade for them, our morning- early afternoon sun may be enough but the the afternoon sun on top could be too much. The plants often end up growing faster than the root system can develop. Are they getting enough water? And how many hours of sun do they receive?Helpful Reply

Richard B on Sep 03, 2011Water is adequate, it is irrigated. I'll be home tomorrow all day and I will watch the sun more closely. I don't think they get sun all day. Recently lost some large trees and I may be way off. Thanks.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Sep 03, 2011Richard, does the base of the plant appear at all "mushy" or does it seem healthy?Helpful Reply

Mike and Anne on Sep 04, 2011Sometimes seeds do not have good contact with the soil when you sow them. The weight of the emerging seedling pulls the root up and the seedling gorws at an angle. You can re-seat the seedling to get it to stand up straight.Helpful Reply
