Herbs & Flowers That Thrive Near Zinnias In The Garden
By Megan Brame
Companion Planting
Companion planting has an integral advantage in that it increases biodiversity in the garden, which can aid plant health and pest management.
Marigolds
Marigolds share similar growing requirements, but marigolds act like bouncers to any garden, bringing in the good guys and keeping the creeps away.
Cilantro
Like marigolds, cilantro does double duty for zinnias by bringing pollinators and pest-chomping bodyguards, and better still, they're low maintenance.
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are such good buddies for zinnias due to their ability to attract a plethora of pollinators that will help fertilize flowers across your entire garden.
Salvia
Salvia attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, both of which also love zinnias. It's a match made in flower heaven that benefits the plants and our souls.
