I am looking to create a cutting garden
of very low-maintenance flowers for my
mom. Most of her yard is full sun, and
she really doesn't have the time for
much maintenance. Any suggestions for a
summer full of low care blooms that do
well after cutting? Thanks, Laura

Zinnias are Easy!
Zinnias are really easy, and really beautiful. I planted (directly outside) giant cactus zinnia seeds last spring, and they grew about 3 feet tall with 4-6 inch flowers, from mid-summer to fall. (And they don't like to be over-watered, so that's a plus.)
