Zinnia

Zinnia elegans

4.7(118 reviews)

Zinnias are one of the easiest and most rewarding summer annuals you can grow. They produce a non-stop display of bright, cheerful flowers from early summer right through to autumn, and they're magnets for butterflies and bees. Drought-tolerant once established, they thrive in hot, sunny spots with minimal fuss.
