Creeping Zinnia (Sanvitalia speciosa) is a bright little annual plant which is excellent for borders, containers or hanging baskets.

They should be planted in rich, well draining soil, in full sun. They will tolerate light shade. Creeping Zinnias are heat and drought tolerant. They resent being over-watered. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with an all purpose water-soluble fertilizer.

This 6-10 inch tall plant will produce hundreds of 3/4-1 inch, bright yellow flowers from early summer until the first frost.

Sanvitalia speciosa is grown from seed which may be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or sown directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. The seeds require light for germination, so do not cover them!

oh, i forgot... do they reseed? i know they aren't frost tolerant, but we don't always get frost... (not much anyway)

I found what I think are seeds on mine, and have saved some to try in the spring. These are awesome plants, the flowers never stop! It has been around freezing here for the last few days, and they are still going strong on my porch.

Thank you, Bill...I didn't know what they were called!
