Interesting Notes about Zinnia:
Zinnia is one of the easiest annuals to grow and the reward is constant color for both the garden and bouquets. The non-stop production of flowers on this low-growing variety won it praise and award winning plus it is highly tolerant of mildew. Butterflies use the flowers for landing pads and for the nectar and since there is enough to go around the flowers can be cut for bouquets.
