Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This tough little annual has starry little flowers in yellow, orange, or cream that bloom from June to frost. Foliage is dark glossy green, and the plant gets about 6 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 18 inches. Not a true zinnia, but so named for the similarity of the flowers.
