Zinnia haageana 'Persian Carpet' (Mexican Zinnia - Persian Carpet)
Zinnia Haageana commonly known as ‘Mexican Zinnia – Persian Carpet’ is a great hybrid that’s well-named. These really bi-colored blooms seem to form a carpet wherever they’re planted in full sun. This is a great mix for keeping an area of garden blooming all summer long. They are also great for edging the whole front of your garden. Each individual flower lasts a very long time on the plant or in a vase. Probably no plant can give you more color for less work. Zinnias are one of the easiest plants to grow from seed.
