Zinnias





I have an ever changing list of favorite plants but I have had a long term crush on Zinnias. One of my neighbors has a gorgeous Zinnia and Cosmo combo garden every summer and I sigh and gaze and daydream that I will have one someday too.

Envy Zinnia- Although mine leave something to be desired.

Lilliput Mix / Mini-Zinnia

I bought no less than 9 packets of Zinnia seeds a few months ago and gave them the old college try. My first attempt to direct seed did not yield as many as a I wanted (which was an infinite amount). I had more success growing them on our potting station in a pot and then transplanting them. Now I am waiting on this bed to pop...


Zillions of Zinnias for life. Love.

  2. ooohhh, me too! I have them next to the watermelon and they make me so happy every single day. They are the prettiest of all the flower seeds I planted this year.
