Well I got a very nice surprise when in an area I weeded and cleared out at about the time the zinnias bloomed, before their decline,
I recently found a very happy self sown zinnia. It has budded but has not bloomed.
It is growing in a small patch of soil a few inches deep right next to the asphalt driveway.
It seems they prefer hot, dry soil with low fertility and no supplemental watering.
Aren't plants wonderful?
