Description
Zinnias are one of those flowers that quietly earn their spot in a vegetable garden because they make everything around them work a little better. Their bright, long lasting blooms pull in bees, butterflies, hummingbird moths, and we have even seen hummingbirds on ours. They thrive in the same very hot, sunny conditions as summer vegetables. On top of all that, they add color that makes the garden feel more alive while doing real, practical work for your plants. It's also easy to save seeds from them for next year, and years after.
