You will have a lot of trouble deciding whether to leave these outdoors for your neighbors to enjoy or cut as many of them as you can for display in your home.

For long, hot summers, nothing beats zinnias for brilliant color and a long blooming period. They are drought tolerant and excellent massed in flower beds or in containers.

Zinnias are very easy to grow, but may be susceptible to mildew in humid climates. Making sure that sprinklers do not hit them overnight or early in the morning will help prevent mildew. In all climates, it is preferable to water by soaking from the bottom to keep leaves dry.

Zinnias are a low maintenance plant, but deadheading will extend the bloom period. Some gardeners recommend topping tall varieties when young, producing 3 pairs of leaves. This will encourage basal branching and bushy plants. Zinnias have to have full sun.

NOW is the time to plant zinnias. Sow zinnias outside in late spring or early summer (zinnias do not benefit from being planted early. They will bloom from summer through fall until frost.
