The best way to see these plants perform is to plant in mass plantings. Orange King Zinnia prefers a full sun location. The more sun and heat the better. Doesn’t seem to be bothered with powdery mildew .
This zinnia grows to around 30 inches tall.. There are many other cultivars of zinnias , with varying heights and specific attributes.
Butterflies flock to all zinnias so make sure and plenty of them in your garden beds.
Diane’s Testimonial: What can I say.. another favorite.. So vibrant in the garden.. and they do not require much care.. I do start these from seed but be fair warned they grow fast and have a tendency to stretch indoors.. How I get around that is bury the stem all the way up to the first leaf section..
You can also see the profusion series which is powdery mildew resistant . I have not had any trouble with this problem with the Orange King Zinnia.
