Re: perennial zinnias?
Answering your question, and maybe I am late on this, but they are a creeping zinna and it is just an annual for us in Zone 4 and 5. I raise two types one of them is Irish Eyes, while the other orange eyes. I just love them, they grow anywhere in the garden or in pots. Right now they are doing well. Hope that helps..Becky from Becky's Mall/Greenhouse Dougherty, Iowa
