Hi Gang I have a question Do candy stripe zinnias grow tall like the giant ones do or are they just regular size ? Does any one know? I talked to a couple of people but they really dont know flowers.I need to know whether to put them in the front or back of my flower bed. Thats why im asking.
Thanks so much Margie

I have been thinking about getting some of those too.
The majority of the online seed places list them as getting 2 feet tall, one says 2-4 feet.

Thank you everybody I guess I wont be putting them in the front will I? I guess they sell shorter ones to,The giant ones I had last year were so beautiful, They bloomed all summer with big colorful blooms, They were about 4 to5 ft. tall. I didnt know they were so big and I planted them in the front boy was that a mistake.They made beautiful decorations in vases.
Thanks Margie

I grew some last year and had a mixed varity of colors.I really did like them.They were not as tall as the giants.I think anyone that plants them will really love them.There is all different size Zinnias,dwarf and mini,giants and so on.

I haven't planted zinnias for years, I didn't even know that they could get that big. I must of always grown the shorter ones...but had so much trouble with mildew on them and they looked sickly so I quit growing them...are they better now? I think the candy stripe sounds interesting enough for me to check them out..thank you...Sherry
I love your hummingbird...I keep watching the migration map to see how far they get...it will be a while for them to get to Wisconsin..
