Description

A drive north toward Virginia from North Carlina was our goal to find this very large field of zinnia flowers. When we came upon this field of these showy flowers, we are amazed at the size of the field with so many of these flowers in so many colors and sizes, I had to stand so far back to try to capture the whole field in such depth. This is the result of that effort and hope you enjoy seeing these en masse like this.

Few plants offer the dazzling array of color choices and large flowers that characterize the Zinnia family. Only dahlias and, perhaps, roses, can compete for size of bloom, intensity of color and showiness. The zinnia asks very little of its garden caretaker and gives so very much. Zinnias can be grown almost anywhere. They are not finicky about soil or water, but they do require full sun. The more you deadhead them, the more flowers they will produce. Japanese beetles do love them, but so do butterflies - lots and lots of butterflies. In mid to late summer, they are very prone to developing powdery mildew on their leaves, but this does not affect their flowers. Spacing the plants 6-8 inches apart sometimes helps, but not always.
