ZINNIA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 985 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZINNIA , in botany, a genus of the natural order
Compositae
 , containing about a dozen species of half-
hardy
  annual or perennial herbs or undershrubs, natives of the southern United States and
Mexico
 . The numerous single and
double
 
garden
  forms are mostly derived from Zinnia elegans, and grow about 2 ft. high, producing
flowers
  of various colours, the
double
  ones being about the size of asters, and very handsome. The colours include white, yellow, orange, scarlet, crimson and purple. Zinnias do best in a
rich
  deep loamy soil, in a sunny position. They should be sown on a gentle hotbed at the end of
March
  or in April and planted out early in June.
