General Information:  Zinnias are one of the most beloved and vibrant flowers in the gardening world. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out, zinnias will provide you with stunning blooms in your own garden.

Zinnias, scientifically known as Zinnia elegans, are annual flowering plants that belong to the Asteraceae family. They are native to Mexico and come in a wide range of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. With their long-lasting blooms and ability to attract butterflies and bees, zinnias have become a popular choice for flower enthusiasts.

Zinnias love lots of sun and they will need at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. They are very forgiving, easy to grow plants and they will appreciate deadheading spent flowers to encourage continual blooming. 

Butterflies adore Zinnias and they also make fantastic cut flowers.
