ZenMan said:Hi Patrick,

Zinnias stretch to higher than their "advertised" heights when they are planted too close together, creating competition for light, and thus extra height. Right off hand, I think the tallest packet description zinnia height is Benary's Giants at 4 feet.

" I just need for next year a much Shorter Zinnia. "

There are many varieties of short zinnias, but since you are replacing your zinnias with Iris rhizomes, this height question is becoming moot.

No, ZM, not a moot point. I actually will be planting Zinnia next Summer also - Yes, in the same garden beds as my Iris rhizomes. So I do infact need to know if there are available SHORTER Zinnia varieties out there - but I see you have already answered that to Ginger !
