From your friends at Botanical Interests: These large heirloom zinnias come in a cheerful, almost limitless range of colors including white, pink, salmon, rose, red, yellow, orange, lavender, and purple. The 4"-6" flowers on 2'-3' tall plants bloom continuously until the first fall frost. They make excellent cut and dried flowers, and attract butterflies. (To deter powdery mildew, water by soaking the ground (not from overhead) to keep leaves dry and make sure that sprinklers do not hit them overnight or in the early morning.)

So easy to grow! Lots and lots of colorful blooms. Great for cutting. My neighbors stopped by to ask me what I was growing so beautifully. They weren't familiar with zinnias- guess it's a Northern favorite.

Blooms repeatedly and profusely with almost no care except regular watering. Both my house and my two sisters' houses were filled with zinnias the entire summer. Make sure you water them in the mornings and that you don't spray the leaves with water. (It gets some kind of mold.)
