[goldensrbest]

I have a flower garden on one side of my house, it gets sun from the morning ubtil late afternoon, about6 hours, i need a slash of color red for sure, would tall zinnas give me that?

Yes, you will have continual color all summer.

Try dahlias too for later in summer color.

Look for red salvias too (annuals).

@goldensrbest  Last year I bought a packet of  Liliput Zinnia seeds at Dollar Tree  (4/$1.00) and planted them in a bed, had blooms all summer.  Zinnias come in a lot of varieties, large and small, and are great bloomers.  They are susceptible to mildew so make sure they have good aeration where you plant them.

The Profusion zinnias were one of the first to come out and be disease resistant. There are others now available-- google disease resistant zinnias for more options.
