Really stunning and vibrant!
Yes, this zinnia is amazing, I love it, it was from a mixed pack so I don’t know the name, any ideas?
Don’t you just love Choisa? I have ‘Sundance’, with yellowish leaves. Choisa will take more shade than most gardeners realise. Lucky for me!
Mine’s in shade but that doesn’t mean much here it still gets lots of light.
The deep pink zinnia is lovely. I think I might grow zinnias again next year as I didn’t have any this year and had to wait so long for the cosmos to get going. When did yours start flowering?
I think in June, I’ll check and let you know.
Thanks.
I had some in a vase on the 8th June so they’ve been flowering even longer than I thought – what good value!
Wow! Yes, definitely a better deal than the cosmos then. 🙂
And they last longer in the vase too, a week or more if they are freshly opened.
ooo! that pink! I am just going to have to grow some zinnias next year – sumptuous!
They would look fabulous with some dark purple dahlias I think, so something else to look for next spring!
Lovely.
You’re on a roll, Christina! Your Zinnias are flashy!
Yesterday I checked how long the zinnias have been producing flowers and I used some for the first time on 8th June, so amazing value from half a packet of seeds that cost 1€
Love the zinnias…grrrrr! 😉
I picked the same quantity today if not more for a friend! Sorry!
I lost my Choisya several winters ago. Wondering now why I never replaced it.
Choisya is such an easy going plant, mine usually flowers twice a year, last year if I remember correctly it flowered for a third time in December, so do look for a replacement, I’m thinking of taking cuttings because I heard on the radio that they are easy – I’ve never tried them before but I wouldn’t say no to more plants.
So appealing. (I have similar colors from a mixed package so don’t know the names.)
Fabulous, Christina, the comparison between cosmos and zinnia is interesting. Lots of people seem to be having a disappointing year with cosmos … Could it be the seed?
I don’t think it was the seed as the Pink Sensation I used was Italian, the white was T&M (last years seed) and the deep colours Sarah Raven. I’m more intrigues my the self sown seeds which have produced very strong plants with lots of foliage but not so much flower. All the rest have been pulled out now as they were dying or struggling.
Fabulous! I adore zinnias.
