Reach for this one when you want a zinnia that stands apart—the coral-orange petals open around a chartreuse center that actually holds its brightness instead of fading to yellow as the flower ages. It's a compact grower, so you get full-sized blooms on a plant that doesn't sprawl.

Deadhead the spent flowers and it'll keep producing through August heat. Ordinary soil, full sun, and occasional water when it dries out between rains is all it needs.
