Zinnia Aurea is a flowering perennial forb of the carrot family. Golden Alexanders is native to eastern Canada and the United States, from the eastern Great Plains to the Atlantic Coast. Named for Johann Baptist Ziz, a German botanist. They have a long bloom time, giving the garden some well-deserved early color for several weeks in late springs to early summer when many other plants have not yet flowered. It is one of the easy native that every garden should have, although short-lived, will self-seed and persist in many sun/soils situations.
