It’s no secret that I find it hard to get excited about white flowers, but white can be very handy for separating clashing colors or offering a rest for the eyes from too many flashy colors. And white flowers are a big part of cottage gardens.
‘Profusion Double White’ Zinnias are easy to grow and they’ll bloom all summer into fall. And the color is true white, not a yellowy-white or a cream color.
Profusion zinnias are tough plants that can withstand drought or high humidity. The plants grow 14 to 18 inches tall. You can deadhead them to encourage more flowers, but if you ignore them they’ll continue to crank out plenty of blooms despite your neglect.
‘Profusion Double White’ is not bothered by pests or diseases, and the plants are happy in full sun or partial sun or even growing in a pot or planter.
