Zinnias Stayed Dried And Wilted Even After Watering

Question From: Monroeville, Pennsylvania, United States
Q: MY ZINNAS GOT DRY AND EVEN WHEN I WATER THEM THEY STILL STAY WILTED. WHY?

A: If they dried to the point the plant's vascular system could no longer take up water they may be damaged beyond hope. If the leaves feel crumbly that is the case. You may try to cut them back and see if they produce new growth. Best Nancy
