Are zinnias annual or perennial?

Zinnias are annuals, best sown each year for vibrant summer blooms. It is an annual, completing its whole life in one season, so sow again the following year. Harvest: Cut flowers when blooms open fully for longest vase life. Flowering runs June to September.

Do zinnias attract pollinators?

Yes, they are excellent for attracting bees and butterflies.

Do these seeds make a good gift?

Yes — this is a straightforward packet to give, and what makes it work as a gift is mostly timing. Sowing runs February to May, so a packet given inside that window can go straight in, and one given outside it keeps perfectly well until the season comes round. There are approximately 30 seeds in the packet. On effort it looks after itself, which matters if you are giving it to someone new to growing. It suits pots, beds and windowsills, so it works for a small space as well as a garden.
