My first year planting these ! In the past I’d grow taller zinnias around my mailbox. I’d have all different kinds and cut flowers for the house. They required a decent amount of deadheading and would eventually get powdery mildew and fall over after big storms towards the end of the season. I am loving the neat clean look of the profusion series. I went with three different colors that had the best reviews. Some supposedly lose color or fade quicker. What are some other shorter zinnias that you like ?
