Plant Creeping Zinnias in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil either
in beds or containers. Creeping Zinnia does poorly in
soils that don't drain well. Over-watering is the main cause of
plant decline... as "Creeping Zinnia's" are drought
tolerant.
Space plants 4" to 6" apart in an area with
midday shade. Its Daisy like flowers are
quite small measuring 1/2" to 1" across with dark
centers... their great for attracting Butterflies.

Lemon Yellow, and Orange.
