26 Annual Flowers for Year-Round Color
Zinnia
Summer to Fall Frost: For color at the peak of summer, it’s tough to beat zinnia. These perky plants toss open blooms until hard frosts in fall. Sow seed in late spring after all danger of frost is passed. Look for old-fashioned types like ‘Purple Prince’ for larger blooms and longer stems perfect for cutting. Shorter mounding varieties, including Profusion, rebloom until hard frost. Tuck into flower beds, vegetable gardens or containers. Zinnia fits well into cutting or butterfly gardens.
