Zinnias are colorful flowering plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. They are native to Mexico and are popular in gardens due to their bright blooms and ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees. Zinnias come in various shapes and sizes, with flowers that can be single or double-petaled. These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them easy to grow. They are often used in flower beds, borders, and as cut flowers for arrangements. Zinnias bloom from late spring until frost, providing vibrant color throughout the growing season.
