Getting to know your Zinnia

Zinnias are vibrant, easy-to-grow annual flowers known for their daisy-like blooms in a wide range of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, and white. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, growing between 12 inches to 4 feet tall depending on the variety. Zinnias are highly valued in gardens due to their long-lasting blooms, drought tolerance, and ability to attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees. They bloom from late spring until the first frost, making them a staple in summer gardens. Zinnias are low-maintenance and benefit from deadheading, which encourages continuous flowering. They are also excellent as cut flowers due to their sturdy stems and bright colors. However, they can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions, so proper spacing and air circulation are essential for healthy growth.
