Ok, these have got to be the best annual that I know of! They are easy peasy to start from seed, they have bunches of vivid colors to choose from, they have both tall growing or small, what more could you ask for?

we have the plain old orange and red, I have seen the green ones, they do look off to me, but mixed with other colors they may be fine??

I planted some in the garden last year. I was pleasantly surpised at all the butterflys that came. We sat and watched them all summer. They are easy and wonderfully colored!

I like zinnias of all colors. My sister has a problem with her stems getting powdery mildew or whatever it is on them but I don't and she only lives an hour away from me. They're easy for me to grow and last a long time.

They're easy for me to grow and last a long time. give a mixture of 2% milk and water sprayed on those stems a try Sheri works here on the monarda (bee balm) and the lilacs... stops PM even after it develops it will work on squash and pumpkins too if applied as a preventative, but after you have a full blown problem of any kind on squash...nothing seems to work |

Thank goodness I don't have a problem with mildew. Wonder if it's the heat.
