The leaves are drying up and turning brown.
The white things might be aphids or spider mites....They both like Zinnias...

I water them everyday, espically with as hot as it has been. The entire left is white? I'm not sure what it is.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's some kind of fungal disease...... ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
That happened to my Vincas a few years ago.

Is there anything you can do for something like that?

Okay I think I might have found my problem. I've been doing some reading about zinnia and alot of different website all say to water Zinnia's below the foilage to help prevent the mildew. I think I will try that (so much for the sprinkler)

There are mildew resistant zinnias, so maybe next year you can plant those instead. They usually don't have flowers as large, but they are tough as nails and now come in a better variety of colors. Profusion zinnias are one example.

I will try to get some different types next year. I might also try a soaker hose.
