BEST EVER BEDDING
If you like vivid, brightly coloured blooms for either admiring in the borders or cutting for the vase, zinnias are for you. Tall or short, long stemmed or bushy, single or double these brilliantly coloured daisies come in nearly every colour and are really easy to grow from seed. Most of the two dozen zinnia species originate in Mexico, with a few growing farther south and a few in the south
