I have always loved Zinnias–they are such good companions for roses! However, this year I was given State Fair Zinnias from my friend, Ron Daniels, and the only word that comes to mind is WOW. The hotter and drier it gets, the more these beauties bloom and bloom and bloom.
These lovelies are wonderful in arrangements as they just last and last in a vase!
A big bang for your buck! See…
I also grow zinnias but they don’t grow so tall for me in the UK…I am often inspired by certain flowers when I make my textile pieces and zinnias are one of my favourites…
Mine are getting better every day! They sure can take the heat. I bet your textiles are amazing!
watch this space ..once the garden goes to sleep the textiles take over my life…
I will!
wow beautiful I take it they are late summer flowers then? I might considered getting some next year, right now I am on a magnolia kick.
You will love having Zinnias especially in the late summer!
We bought a Sweet Bay Magnolia this year. It is soooo pretty. 🌹🐞
Love zinnias! So cheerful!
Fine combinations! Where do you get your phlox and is it the “old” garden phlox, not new hybrids? When I reworked a large perennial border, my helper pretty much wiped out mine, which were passalongs from my mother’s garden many years ago. I live in Zone 8.
I have both old and new varieties of Phlox. I’ll look up varieties for you.
They are fantastic companions to roses and everything else. I don’t know why more people don’t grow zinnias. Wonderful plants.~~Dee
I totally agree Dee. They are wonderful!
