Zinnia elegans, commonly known as youth-and-age, is a bright, easy-to-grow annual valued for its bold, daisy-like flowers and long-lasting color. Blooms come in a wide range of colors including red, pink, orange, yellow, white, and purple, making it a versatile choice for garden beds, borders, and cut flower gardens. Its upright habit and continuous flowering make it ideal for adding vibrant seasonal color.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and fuller growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support blooming
