Zinnia Picking Tips, and Information

Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own zinnias and other lowers are becoming more common.

• Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
• Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
• Pick off any leaves that will be under water.
• Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
