My Zinnias are hanging on! I have to water every other day in this heat!! I have loved having them growing just off my patio so I can cut and bring inside .

Zinnias have the most beautiful colors. Good plants for hot places.

So pretty! Happy to hear they're surviving the heat! Some of my containers aren't looking too good :(

Thanks! Everyone, It's hot here! In and around 100 degrees till next Wed. Unless it changes!
Heather, mine too. I've Already pulled up the fried petunias out of several containers. I water every other day.
My Zinnias, Dianthus and Lantana are hanging on. They all do pretty well in the heat.

Very nice Connie. I grew zinnias for the first time this year and am enjoying them. I have shared a few bouquets, and plenty for my table.
