Inspired by the abundant blooms of Mexico, this variety of Zinnia haageana —also known as Mexican zinnia—displays a dazzling array of burgundy, deep purple, saffron yellow, and creamy white hues. Its double flowers, approximately 4 cm in diameter, attract pollinators continuously until the first frost, adding warmth and vibrancy to the garden.

This compact, bushy, and hardy plant grows to between 35 and 45 cm tall, making it ideal for borders, sunny flowerbeds, or urban containers. In an eco-friendly garden, it thrives in welcoming, well-drained soil and appreciates regular, but not excessive, watering. Gentle deadheading encourages continuous flowering.

A hardy variety, it tolerates heat and drier periods well, while also resisting powdery mildew—a real plus for humid summers. The Aztec Burgundy Bicolor zinnia embodies the vibrant simplicity of flowers that ask for little and give much.
