It is a tender perennial, grown like an annual in the moderate climates of the northern hemisphere. It's a fast-growing plant that captures the interest of children. Morning Glory is useful as a vine, ground cover and container plant. Famous for its red colour, it also comes in white, lavender, rose, salmon, and even a blue variety which looks great massed or combined with the red. The sweet nectar in the flowers will sometimes attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Zinnia has brilliant daisy-like flowers in single or double blooms.
I love it as a cut flower and as a colourful attraction in my garden. It does particularly well in North America because of its fondness for long, hot summers. Zinnia comes in a wide range of types and in all colours except blue, but it is famous for sunny colours of red, yellow, gold and bronze. The flowers are held on stiff stems with undistinguished foliage, best hidden in a border with other plants. This in an eye-catching, trailing plant that puts on a terrific show in a hanging baskets and containers, either in combination with other plants or as a feature item.
