I'm in hot Arizona, would they have a chance of surviving the heat?

I'd like to try it in a pot some day. Thanks for the tips!

I had a lot of success with getting rid of powdery mildew on my zinnia last year with a homemade mixture. In a gallon of water you mix 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda, 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish soap. It worked amazingly well. I'll add it to my article in case anyone else wants to try it.

If you pinch the tops when they are still smaller plants in the spring it should force them to bush out a little more and be less leggy. I have not tried it with mine yet, but will next spring (and basically didn't want to write it in the post if I didn't have personal experience with it). Just Saturday night when we had a big rain storm it toppled a few of my purple ones you see in the photos (I took those photos Saturday morning). I definitely don't want to be staking them or anything like that, so I'll try the pinching method next spring.
