Zinnia elegans
The most intense dark pink colour, large flowers and so very easy to care for.
She makes a real statement in any garden. Beautiful in a border, grows well in a pot and a wonderful cut flower. And she's popular with butterflies!
Fertilise her regularly and she'll reward you with (almost) endless blooms.
