When do cerinthe (and zinnia) bloom?

This question is on cerinthe, zinnia
Hello all!
I planted cerinthe and green envy zinnia at the end of march this year and I'm still waiting for them to bloom - is this normal because I started them a little late? I am in z 8b with temps getting up to 100 in the mid afternoon, although I do try to water every day. zinnia is in full sun at hottest part of the day, while cerinthe gets afternoon shade. Is the heat retarding the flowering process?

My zinnias planted in March have been out for over a month but they are multicoloured ones. I put some green ones in very late, like late April, and they are not flowering yet. They are growing steadily. I think you will find that they will come. I'm in zone 6, and it's hot here too. Mine are in a sunny spot but are also shaded by surrounding planta.

I can't say about the cerinthe, but I would think the zinnias should be blooming by now. I am in Ga, in zone 7 and mine have been blooming for 2 weeks, they did get a slow start but once the temps got high enough they shot up and bloomed quickly.
I would be suspicious that the Green Envy Zinnia is a late ver. Hope this helps!
