Sugar_fl,
I'd like to have a hose sprayer,too.I can't find one here,though. Yes Zinnia in general get mildew so easily as you said,still Zinnia linearis (Mexcan zinnia)I grow are mildew-free and flower from July till November.
Take a look at a pic of them which was taken two three years ago.

I bury the organic fertilizer around the pot so I may not hurt the plants.I spread the chemical in such a way that it doesn't touch the plants.It easily dissolves in rain and watering.The chemical N:P:K ratio of the bottom-middle in my last pic is 10:10:10,and that of tha bottom -right is 8:8:8.
Nice for you to have a greenhouse.May your plants thrive there.

Jagonjune,You're right to say everbody has different things to cause their grief. The best way to grow plants well is,
certainly, to grow those which best suit your climate, but even if you're well aware of it,you couldn't very often resist the temptation of trying those which do not.
