Zinnia's are an absolute must in any cut garden. Easy to grow, low maintenance and heat tolerant. A true cut and come again flower, which will grace you with blooms all summer long, right up to the first frost.

Notes From The Garden
...
Nip out the initial bud to encourage branching and bloom production. Although I don't find it necessary as Zinnia are so productive anyway.
Early stems can be short but elongate as the summer progresses. 1st flowers are like pancakes, it takes a few blooms to really get into their stride.
Zinnias have a fabulous vase life, but make the water dirty quickly, so change daily if possible.
