Zinnia is a colorful flowering plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Known for its bright blooms, zinnias come in various colors, including red, pink, yellow, and orange. They are popular in gardens and as cut flowers due to their long-lasting nature and ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees. These plants thrive in full sunlight and well-drained soil, making them easy to grow in many climates. Zinnias are often used in floral arrangements and are appreciated for their resilience, blooming from late spring until the first frost. They are also commonly associated with the summer season.
