Zinnias are vibrant, easy-to-grow flowers celebrated for their bright, diverse colors and long-lasting blooms. They come in a range of shades including red, orange, pink, yellow, and white, and their daisy-like flowers add a burst of color to gardens and floral arrangements. Zinnias are perfect for both fresh bouquets and dried arrangements, as they hold their color well after drying.

In the garden, zinnias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal for zone 5 climates. They are started from seeds and grow quickly, producing a profusion of flowers throughout the summer. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming. In floral design, zinnias bring a cheerful, garden-fresh feel to arrangements and pair well with other bright flowers like sunflowers and cosmos.
