In summer, gardening requires plants with three key qualities: low maintenance (it’s hot out there), heat and drought tolerance (ditto), and brilliant color—the brighter the better. Zinnias fit the bill on all three counts.Zinnias are annuals, so they’ll grow for one season to produce flowers and seeds, but the original plant will not come back in subsequent years. They have bright, solitary, daisy-like flower heads on a single, erect stem, which makes them great for use as a cutting flower or as food for butterflies.Easy annuals such as sunflowers and zinnias are simple to start from seed, perennials require little care and return year after year, and bulbs are practically foolproof when planted properly.Easy annuals such as sunflowers and zinnias are simple to start from seed, perennials require little care and return year after year, and bulbs are practically foolproof when planted properly.

What is the best time to plant summer flowers?
Late spring is the optimal time to plant summer annuals due to the convergence of favorable climatic conditions. Unlike perennial plants that live for multiple years, summer annuals complete their life cycle within a single growing season. These plants germinate, grow, flower, set seed, and die in the span of one year. Practically, the best times to plant perennials are spring or fall. These seasons allow plants to get settled and grow new roots before summer’s hot, dry weather arrives. Planting in summer is okay, but you’ll need to water frequently.Perennials may also be available as bare root specimens during the dormant season between November and March. From early June onwards we would always recommend buying perennials in 2 litre pots.
