Zinnia elegans

Family: Asteraceae, Genus: Zinnia

Description:

Zinnia elegans is a vibrant annual flowering plant known for its wide range of colors and large, long-lasting blooms. This heat-loving plant is native to Mexico and thrives in hot, dry conditions, making it drought-tolerant and ideal for summer gardens. Zinnias are easy to grow and attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, while also being deer resistant. The flowers, which can be up to 6 inches wide, are edible and can be used to garnish dishes, although they have little flavor. Zinnias are excellent for cut flowers and dry well for crafts. They are best planted in masses and can be grown in containers or garden beds. With their compact growth habit, they are a reliable choice for adding color to any landscape.
