Zinnia elegans (Zinnia)

Zinnia

Zinnia elegans

Mortellaro's Nursery stocks only dwarf cultivars of Zinnia elegans. This attractive annual has an upright bushy growth habit, with solitary daisy like flowers in a variety of colors. Zinnias are best planted in well drained soil in full sun, and watered infrequently as they are susceptible to leaf spot and mildew. The best way to inhibit powdery mildew is plant them in an open space with plenty of air circulation. They are an ideal Texas summer annual as it enjoys the hot summers up till the first fall frost.
