Zinnias are a perfect addition to the Houston garden! They come in multiple varieties that differ in size, color, and growth pattern. Best of all, they thrive in hot, humid weather. But you need to plant them now so they are well-established before the hottest part of the year hits us. Check out packets of zinnia seeds, with a mix of colors to brighten up your garden and feed hungry butterflies and native bees. Learn more about zinnias from the Henderson County Master Gardener Association.
