While
zinnias are considered a home garden staple, they're often
overlooked for patio container gardening. A number of the more dwarf zinnia varieties
lend themselves well for patio planters, adding both texture and brilliant
color to your outdoor living space for the entire summer.
Profusion Double Deep Salmon (right) - If you're looking for a little
more subtle color scheme, then this garden award winner is for you.
Attractive medium to deep salmon double flowers cover 16-24" wide
plants, ensuring you a full blooming container that will last well into
fall. For a combo planter, combine it with pastel petunias, dichondra, or euphobia for a soothing color palette and additional
texture.
Magellan Mix (left) - This spectacular mix of 8 different colors
offers you ample opportunity to grow multiple plants together in large
planters, or one or two plants in smaller containers. Clear bright 4"
double flowers bloom on 12-14" bushy well-branched plants that grow
to 10-12" wide. Try pairing a few plants together with trailing
foliage such as Carnival (Ipomoea) or asparagus fern for a
nicely balanced planter.
Zahara Double Fire (right) - This beauty is guaranteed to add colorful zest to any container! Highly branched plants result in a beautifully symmetrical plant habit loaded first with buds, then with consistently double fiery orange-red flowers. Plant it on its own, or pair it up with other annuals in yellow or blue shades, depending on how "hot" you want your planter to be!
