Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Zinnias were cultivated in Mexico's gardens of Montezuma along with dahlias, sunflowers and morning glories. With the texture of close-shorn velvet, this mix of rosy terracotta and ochre hued flowers are beautiful indeed. Sturdy stems like bluegreen fluted columns branch to produce a bushy plant that is mildew resistant.
