Hats off to this charming Mexican native! With a full burgundy center, a scarlet band, and yellow petal tips, this species was appropriately named. Sombrero Zinnia is a quick to grow pollinator attraction.
The first botanical records of this plant come from the notes of Spanish botanists Mocino and Sesse, who discovered the species growing in the wilds of southern Mexico in 1789. The common name "zinnia" honors German botanist and professor Johann Gottfried Zinn, who was among the first to grow this species after it was discovered. Zinnias signify thoughts of an absent friend in the Victorian language of flowers. FAST FACTS
