Sanvitalia procumbens--Creeping Zinnia

Height: 8 in   Spacing: 6 in                                
Type: annual                                                
Flowers: Yellow                                             

Comments: Creeping Zinnia is not truly a zinnia.  It        
produces yellow flowers with dark centers on plants with a  
trailing habit.  The plant can be used as an edging plant   
or in containers.  Provide a growing area exposed to full   
sun and that has well-drained soil.  The plant prefers      
heat and tolerates drought.                                 

Propagation: Propagation is by seed.  The seed should not   
be covered as they require light for germination.           

Cultivars:
