Like marigolds, there may be too many zinnia to mention in this tiny space. These annuals come in a range of sizes and a wealth of colors from the softest of salmons and apricots to traffic stopping reds and oranges. Flowers have single, double, or frilled petals; foliage is green. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds. An excellent cut flower.
Grow in full sun in well draining, average soil. Deadheading will prolong bloom and make for a tidier appearance. Start from seed or buy plants. Avoid overhead watering, as it can cause powdery mildew on the foliage.
