Its blossoms can be daisy-like, pom-pom shaped, or resemble dahlias, sitting atop sturdy green stems with opposing leaves. This diversity makes it a standout in any garden.
These cheerful flowers are often used by artists and designers for their wide color palette.
They are a symbol of lasting affection, friendship, and remembrance.
Zinnias are named after Johann Gottfried Zinn, a German botanist who first described them!
