Known as the Mexican zinnia, Zinnia haageana has smaller, narrower leaves than other zinnias, making it more tolerant of hot, dry conditions and winds. Zinnias are commonly used as summer bedding plants, where they provide a splash of colour in borders and pots.
Zinnia haageana ‘Soleado’ bears masses of single orange flowers on strong, stems. Plants are easy to grow, resistant to rain and flower until the first frosts.
