Frillylily said:can you pinch back zinnias to keep them from getting so tall and have them bush out a little?
Yes, that will make them much bushier, and provide some control to their height, although the new side branches may grow upward some and cancel out some of the height control.
The shortest of the Zinnia elegans (violacea) are the Thumbelina strain, which start blooming when they are only 3 inches tall, and ultimately form a little 6-inch bush.
