Grow bouquet-worthy blooms from two new zinnia mixes. Cool Crayon Colors Mix offers soothing shades of lavender, rose, pink, and white, while Hot Crayon Colors Mix brings sizzling yellows, oranges, and reds. Reaching 3½ feet tall, these zinnias shine at the back of borders and make excellent cut flowers.
Sow seeds directly in the garden once nighttime temperatures consistently stay in the 50s. Choose a full-sun spot with well-drained soil. Plant a second crop in July for continued bloom into fall. Both mixes are available from Renee's Garden.
Keep cut zinnia blooms bright and perky with a floral preservative. Make your own using everyday kitchen supplies—providing the essential ingredients: sugar, acidifier, and biocide.
Recipe 1: Mix 1 part regular (not diet) lemon-lime soda to 3 parts water.
Recipe 2: Stir 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and a crushed aspirin into 24 ounces of water.
