Creeping Zinnia (Sanvitalia procumbens) is a cheerful, spreading annual that produces masses of small, sunflower-like blooms with golden-yellow petals and dark centers. Blooming continuously from early summer until frost, it forms a dense, trailing mat of color that brightens borders, containers, hanging baskets, and rock gardens.
Growing just 4–8 inches tall and spreading 12–18 inches wide, Creeping Zinnia is perfect for edging pathways, cascading over walls, or filling in garden gaps. Its compact growth habit and long bloom season make it a favorite for low-maintenance landscapes.
This heat-loving plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is moderately drought tolerant once established.
