Zinnia, Dreamin' Remix

The Dreamin' Remix is quite the stunner and soon became our favorite last year.  Due to the origin of this mix, there's lots of unique diversity to discover in this absolutely gorgeous flock of florals.  That's right, we said flock of florals.  AKA bouquet.  But flock of florals is more fun to say/type out.  LOL.  

We love growing zinnias because they're low maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, deer resistant, great for cut flowers and bees love napping on their petals.  

Favorite plant color combos: 

Dreamin' Remix Zinnia + Cardinal Basil
Dreamin' Remix Zinnia + Sugar Rush Peach Pepper 
Dreamin' Remix Zinnia + Champagne Bubbles Cherry Tomato

Zinnias thrive in full sun, do well in clay soil and may benefit from being staked.  Don't forget to let one or two blooms dry up (yes, they will turn brown) so you can save seeds to grow again next year!  
Note that our zinnias will produce bushy, prolific blooms from early summer thru first frost (or later!) because we pinch them back when they're about 6" tall.  Pinching back the plant encourages side shoots and more growth.
