Great for vegetable gardens to help attract pollinators and to add color. They also attract beneficial insects to your garden:  ladybugs- who eat aphids & mites, predatory wasps that eat aphids, stinkbugs, june bugs, cabbage worms, tomato horn worms and more.

I have planted zinnias next to my tomatoes for years and haven't had any problems with the pest that usually go for tomatoes.  Bonus: Zinnias offer brilliant color and a long bloom until a hard frost. Great as cut flowers.
