All bets are off this summer; nothing in my garden (or my life) is behaving the way it should.
But the zinnias? They never disappoint. Late August is here, and so are the zinnias, God bless them.
Along with cosmos and tithonia, zinnias are a stalwart presence in the late summer garden. They will bloom until the first frost, making a haven of nectar and pollen for the pollinators.
