Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, and attract butterflies to the garden. They make an excellent cut flower as the more you cut, the more flowers you get! They thrive in the sun and heat of summer, only asking for well-drained soil. When cutting the blooms for the vase it is best to trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, the foliage does not age well.
