Interesting Notes about Zinnia:
The non-stop production of flowers will delight and decorate with either single or double flowers all season long. 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. Extreme resistance to disease, tolerance of heat and drought and carefree nature makes a great choice for the garden.
