Latin name:Zinnia angustifolia

Zinnia flowers are a colorful and long lasting addition to the flower garden.Growing zinnia plants can be inexpensive, particularly when growing them from seed. Seeds of zinnia flowers should usually be sown directly into the sunny flower bed.If you wish to start growing zinnia plants from seeds indoors, plant the seeds in peat pots, poo pots (pots made from cow dung) or other biodegradable containers that can be planted directly into the garden later.Zinnia care may also include watering in the early morning, allowing the foliage and flowers ample time to dry off before nightfall.Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, for young plants. Mature zinnias require less watering, as grown flowers are somewhat drought tolerant.
