Zinnia elegans
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.

Care Guide
Sowing
Sow seeds directly in the ground after the last frost in a sunny spot.
Watering
Water at the base every 3–4 days. Avoid wetting the foliage.
Deadheading
Pinch off spent flowers to keep plants blooming all season.
Spacing
Thin seedlings to 20–30 cm apart for good air circulation.
Powdery mildew
Improve spacing for air circulation. Water at the base only.
Slow to bloom
