Zinnias are garden favorites for good reason: they offer bright, daisy-like blooms in nearly every color imaginable—red, pink, yellow, orange, white, purple, and even bi-color. With upright stems and tidy green foliage, zinnias range in height from compact dwarf types to tall, cut-flower varieties. They bloom heavily from late spring through frost and are magnets for butterflies and pollinators. Zinnias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, are drought tolerant, and require little maintenance beyond occasional deadheading for best bloom performance.
