I can’t imagine having a garden without zinnias. They are bright and cheerful; they attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden; and they make great cut flowers.
One of my favorite zinnias is ‘Dreamland Coral,’ a shorter variety that grows 12 inches and blooms all summer long. The flowers appear tangerine, coral and even orange.
‘Dreamland Coral’ is easy to start from seed indoors. It’s one of the few annuals that gives me almost 100% germination year after year.
