Zinnia pumila, often known as the Narrow-leaf Zinnia or Mexican Zinnia, features small, daisy-like flowers and narrow leaves, making it distinct from its larger cousins. These plants are compact, typically growing no taller than 18” to 24”, with a spread that matches their height. Their flowers come in bright hues of yellow, orange, and red, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This species is renowned for its drought tolerance and thrives in full sun, making it ideal for xeriscaping.


History and Uses of Zinnia pumila: Originating from Mexico, Zinnia pumila has been a staple in native gardens for centuries. Its name honors Johann Gottfried Zinn, an 18th-century German botanist. This zinnia variety is valued not only for ornamental purposes but also for its practicality in low-water landscapes. Gardeners appreciate its resilience and continuous bloom from spring until the first frost. Today, it's used in borders, rock gardens, and as a ground cover, enhancing garden aesthetics while requiring minimal care.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP
Zinnias are native to South America, which means they will thrive in the heat and sunlight. Plant them on the edge of your garden to allow them to spread out when pinched back. The term “pinching back” simply means to snip the zinnia at a lower leaf node prior to it flowering. This will allow the plant to spend more energy in creating multiple branches, thus rewarding you with more blooms later on. As a side note, zinnias become more drought tolerant as they grow stronger.
