Starlight Zinnias

July 2, 2011 by Sherry

I absolutely LOVE these zinnias. I grew these from seed this year, and they are SO pretty. I have several of them in the front bed, and a couple in containers on my patio. I will definitely be growing these again. Click photos to view larger.

This is the first year I didn’t grow zinnias. A shame!! So pretty. I miss the big mass of them that I’ve had in the past. Next year!!

  Jim, they do make a nice big mass in the flower beds. I’m loving these Starlights, and also the knee-high profusions that are new to me this year. So easy to grow from seed!

These are absolutely beautiful zinnias. Those colors must be a real standout in the garden.

  Hi Lana,
  They do stand out in the garden. Just love the color on these!

They are keepers for sure. I have quite a bit of luck starting zinnias here too. Such an unusual pattern.

  Christine, they sure are. Every year I start a few zinnias from seed and always wish I had started more!

  Hi Raji,
  I had wondered why you hadn’t been posting much lately. I’m glad to see you back, and -congratulations on your baby girl! :)
  
  Thank you for your nice comments. I like that little bridge too, and am not finished with the landscaping around it yet –it’s a new additon this year and I’m looking forward to planting more around that area.
  
  Thanks for stopping by,
  Sherry
