Zinnias are annuals, meaning that they go from seed to flower to seed quickly.

As the flower matures, a circle of small golden stars surrounds its center disk. Extremely easy to grow, Zinnias are annuals which love full sun, prefer a humusy, evenly moist and well-draining soil. Don't crowd them to keep them disease-free and avoid powdery mildew.

Zinnias are easy to grow directly-seeded into the garden. For sooner blooms, start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost date.
