I'm crazy about zinnias. They make awesome cut flowers because they really soak up the water. The seeds for the ones in this photo came from Renee's Garden Seeds. The cultivar is 'Hot Crayon Colors' and I think it really lives up to its name.
Zinnias are an annual, which means they only last for one growing season. They thrive in full sun and don't have very many requirements as far as culture goes. I'm good about deadheading them so they will keep blooming until it frosts. (gosh, I really hate to be talking about frosts already!)
