Zinnias in the Garden

Zinnias are some of the most colorful, easy to grow flowers in the garden.  Sowing seeds in the spring ensures blooms are at their peak in late August and into the fall.  Bees and butterflies love zinnias, an easy way to help the pollinators thrive.  Next year, I am planting more orange zinnias!

Dahlias

Dahlias come in many colors and sizes . . . they are at their peak in late summer in the garden.  At the same time of the season, there are many complementary greens and fall blooming flowers available to add to the centerpiece or bouquet.  The Dahlia Garden design below includes barberry twigs, sedum, russian sage, salvia, dusty miller, and eucalyptus.
