What Makes Zinnias 
So Popular 
Zinnias are so popular because they come in 
gorgeous, vivid, as well as pastel colors; withstand 
almost desert heat; bloom as early when seed is 
planted directly in the garden as from plants 
started indoors and transplanted; bloom pro- 
fusely, even for inexperienced gardeners. Plant 
plenty of Zinnias from seed.
