Considered one of the easiest annuals to grow, zinnias bring an explosion of gorgeous color from early spring until late fall. The blooming may slow down a little at the height of the summer heat but since they grow very quickly and are extremely reliable, they make a wonderful choice for flower beds, pots and containers. Their cheery, bright flowers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors such as orange, pink, purple, red, white and yellow. Zinnias, depending on the variety, grown anywhere from 6 inches to 4 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide and butterflies, bees and hummingbirds are attracted to their blooms.
Caring for zinnias should include watering at the base of the plant since it is best to keep the foliage and petals dry. Watering in the early morning is preferable which allows the foliage and flowers ample time to dry off before nightfall. For young plants, keep the soil moist and once mature, water less as grown flowers are somewhat drought tolerant. To keep zinnias at their top performance deadhead the flowers which will result in more blooms and a bushier, more attractive plant. With proper placement and correct watering, zinnias will provide long-term color and beauty.
