    First time growing Zinnias. I planted them in grow bags at the end of May and wow, just wow. I’m a massive Zinnia lover now. Look how gorgeous they are 😍😍

    I’m in zone 6b

    Zinnias either do not care much for my poor desert soil or they didn't enjoy being planted too closely to the sunflower but they did come up and put on a few flowers I let them go to seed and helped them spread around but no zinnia seedlings came up on their own the second year. Ive been meaning to try again, the following year was a hard year for seedlings in general, they might not have appreciated the sudden switch from spring to hot hot summer so early

    This variety is special. From seed to seedling to a full grown plant they get stronger and stronger. The height of 4-5 feet is surprisingly gorgeous.
