‘Orange Star’ Zinnia

Aren’t these pretty? They’re an adorable, dwarf variety that I fell in love with this year. I bought the plants back in the spring and they have bloomed endlessly for months. They remind me of the David Bowie song, “The Prettiest Star.” I think of it whenever I deadhead them.

I have some growing in a 70′s era flour cannister on the roof and some more in ground over at the community garden. Both sets are doing equally well. Go little zinnias!

  1. Nice picture of the zinnia. I didn’t know they come in the dwarf variety. I read they’re hardy too, right?

  2. Louise: These sure are.
