Zinnias Zinnias are one of the most 
: desirable and lovely flowers 
in the garden. They grow well in par- 
tial shade but like most flowers do 
best in a sunny location. The seed 
may be planted in the garden from 
April 15th to June 1st, and when the 
plants are two or three inches high 
they should be thinned out to 12 or 15 
inches apart. Plants flower from early 
summer until frost.
