Crystal White Mexican Zinnia
Zinnia angustifolia

Planting Season: Plant after the danger of frost is past.
Culture: Crystal White Mexican Zinnia is an easily grown annual bedding plant that will thrive in any average garden soil. Plants will bloom more heavily as the heat of summer progresses as long as provided with some moisture. Deadheading old blooms will keep them more attractive and result in more flowers; however, they produce plenty of blooms if this step is not taken.
Hardiness: Disease resistance and toughness make zinnia well-suited to modern gardens.
Tough free-flowering plant produces 2-1\2 inch daisy-like blooms from planting until frost.
Height: 10-14 inches
Spread: 12 inches
Exposure: Best in full sun
Soil Moisture: Tolerant of drought once established but performance is better if given average growing moisture
