Creeping zinnia is a cheery annual plant with a spreading nature and low, 6-inch stature, ideal as groundcover or for planting in containers as trailers.
Sow seeds on top of a prepared planting surface and cover lightly with peat moss for best results. Keep seeds evenly moist until you see sprouts emerge, which should be sometime within a couple weeks.
Zinnias (Zinnia spp.) reseed easily, creating a cut-and-come-again garden each summer, says the University of Wisconsin Extension. Heirloom varieties, cultivated for more than 50 years, are open pollinated and grow into plants identical to their parents.
Is invasive when planted in ground. Grows over everything in its path, from smaller plants to huge shrubs. It would be useful for a slope to halt erosion.. . . . .364011236364!]0000000000000009783314147484!]
