Zinnia elegans
An eye-engaging combination, these 4″–5″ bright beauties have amazing, intense color. The heat-loving, tall plants are great for the back of the flowerbed, and are a sight to behold when planted in mass. Blooms last a very long time on the plant, and in the vase when cut for gorgeous arrangements. Plants grow up to 24″-36″ tall and produce flowers that bloom from summer to frost. Prefers full sun exposure. Attracts pollinators and is deer resistant.
Outdoors: Sow 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date.
Indoors: Sow 4-6 weeks before your average last frost date. Transplant outdoors after last frost. Zinnias do not benefit from being sown early; wait for warmer weather.
