For long lasting flowers, I love zinnias!  I grow the shorter zinnias that are about 15 inches high and wide  and come in the single and double flowered versions.   I always put them in my planter boxes up against the house.  This year I also put them in my my flower bed in the front yard.

I buy starter plants around mid May and they usually are still flowering in the fall.  This annual  likes full sun.

I can usually find an assortment of different colors in my area including orange. . .
