Red Zinnia in a Pot
Zinnia is a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of the family Asteraceae. They are native to scrub and dry grassland in an area stretching from the Southwestern United States to South America, with a centre of diversity in Mexico. Members of the genus are notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colors. The genus name honours German botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727–59).
Zinnias are popular garden flowers because they come in a wide range of flower colours and shapes, and they can withstand hot summer temperatures, and are easy to grow from seeds.
