Thank you @plantmanager, @rocklady, @bloominholes2fill and @Frenchy21for the nice words.

Thank you @bloominholes2fill, @Frenchy21, @krobra, @lovemyhouse, @plantmanager, @rocklady and @Whitebeard for the thumbsup.

I loved growing all these colored Magellan zinnias. I haven't found the pic that I made the banner with, yet. I should've listed the banner with the exact month of 2014, so I could've find it in my personal photo files easier.

Thank you @ge1836, @TBGDN, @GaNinFl and @crawgarden for the nice words.

Thank you @bootandall, @CarolineScott, @GaNinFl, @MargieNY, @Seedfork, @TBGDN, @vic, @wildflowers and @zuzu for the thumbsup.

I ordered these at Garden Harvest Supply (now Grow Joy - same owner, just different name). I think at the time, I ordered each color individually. I had two containers of these mixed colors that year.

I see the Magellan zinnias in different colors at my local Meijer's stores the past few years, so I can get them there also. Big, bright and colorful zinnias.

I still haven't found the exact pic that I made the banner with yet, but here's the database link to view pics. Zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Magellan Mix')

Jo Ann, I never knew or thought to pinch the zinnias back in the spring. Is that what you do? I do keep them deadheaded, though.
