A vibrant Mexican native, Zinnia haageana, the Aztec zinnia brings a warm, sunlit glow to Mary Gardens, echoing the radiant colors often associated with Our Lady of Guadalupe. Its fiery petals, painted in gold, russet, and ember-red, recall both the brilliant sunrise of Mexico and the tender cloak of Our Mother who meets her children in beauty. 

More compact than the Zinnia elegans reaching 24-30" tall with 1-1.5" blooms, perfect for the Zinnia lover with smaller spaces.  The Aztec zinnia blooms continuously from summer to frost, making it excellent for cutting as well as for long-season garden color. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant, perfect for the gardener who wants to spice up the garden!
