Description
Zesty Purple zinnia adds rich purple flowers to sunny summer beds, borders, and cutting gardens. This warm-season annual is well suited to Alabama heat when grown in full sun and well-drained soil. Set plants out after frost danger has passed, and space them for good airflow to reduce leaf disease in humid weather. Water at the soil level during dry spells, avoiding constantly wet foliage. Remove spent blooms or harvest flowers regularly to keep new buds coming. Zinnias attract butterflies and other beneficial garden visitors and are damaged by frost.
