Prairie Zinnia
Prairie zinnia is a compact, mounded perennial flower with thin, needle-like leaves. This native plant is especially valuable for its heat and drought tolerance.
Even more, it blooms from mid summer through fall, constantly producing bright yellow flowers which turn into papery seeds. It grows best in hot sunny areas with well-drained soil.
