Zinnia Border July 20, 2014

Zinnias are favorites of the butterflies.  August is the peak of butterfly season in my area, and I want to be ready.  I have stands of zinnias in other areas that are not quite blooming - it's best to stagger their plantings because they eventually get really huge and start to look kind of ratty.  So when I pull them up there are plenty to take their place.
