XiaoLong said:Indonesia is tropical country where you can grow zinnia all time of the year. I have grown them many years ago. But not recently since i have limit space on my small home which now full of plants everywhere like a jungle.
Hello XiaoLong,
I'm always glad to hear from you. It is too bad you currently don't have space available to grow zinnias, because the ability to grow zinnias outdoors year-round could potentially be a powerful zinnia breeding environment.
I am currently transitioning from indoor growing to outdoor growing, and planning my strategies for what to emphasize. My Razzle Dazzles need a lot of improvement, so I will be growing a lot of them. I will also be growing more tubular-petaled "exotics" and crossing them with Razzles Dazzles and vice versa.
It is possible that with a lot of intercrossing that those two strains will merge into a single exotic strain, but that remains to be seen. It should be an interesting Summer here in Kansas.
