Zinnia 
Zinnia is one of the most popular and easily grown annuals. The plants are vigorous, 
growing from one to three feet tall, depending upon the type. Seeds should be planted 
indoors in March or sown in the open as soon as the ground is warm. Transplant seed¬ 
lings in beds or rows, spacing plants from one to two feet apart.
