Zinnia Flower
The zinnia flower originated from Mexico but spread into the
Southwestern United States and to Florida. Zinnias are grown for their
beautiful colors and the attractiveness they bring to gardens. They love the
sun and they're used to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Zinnia Elegans, also known as the common zinnia, has the widest variety of plant heights, flower sizes and colors. It can grow from 8 to 48 inches tall and blooms from 1/2 inch to 5 inches in diameter. Blooms appear in every color except brown, black and true blue.
Zinnia haageana, or Haage's zinnia, is also a smaller zinnia
type and, like its cousin the narrow leaf, it is equally resistant to disease.
Typically, only one cultivar is available, Persian Carpet, which grows up to 16
inches tall and has 2-inch-wide flowers in mahogany red and gold bicolor.
Zinnia Tenuifola, or red spider zinnia, has petite 1-inch
flowers with dark centers and slender, set-apart red petals that curve it grows
from 18 to 24 inches high.
