Vivid orange may be a summertime favorite for Profusion zinnias but you can also find them in white and cherry. They keep on blooming when everything else is exhausted from heat and humidity. They mound very similar to impatiens. The flowers are 2 1/2-inch single, daisy-like flowers. They grow 8 to 12 inches tall and spread 12 to 24 inches. The plants resist powdery mildew and bacterial leaf spot. No pinching or pruning is needed to have continuous blooms. What more could you want from a plant? It is a hands-off gardening type of plant and is perfect for our hot Texas summer.


MILBERGER NURSERY WISHES YOU A HAPPY AND SAFE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY.

Enjoy More Summer Color

Summer is the time for some all star performers that will give you their best show during our hot Texas summer months.

They are blooming in area landscapes and can also be planted at this time of the year. Consider esperanza, poinciana, firebush and rock rose for summer blooms. For you flower beds plant lantana, salvias, plumbago, skullcap, Mexican petunia, cone flower and Mexican heather which you will find on sale this week at Milberger's Nursery.
