Sanvitalia procumbens is a cheery Mexican annual with blossoms like miniature zinnias. It is an ideal choice for containers and hanging baskets.
Its soft bristle stems spread quickly and slope down, creating a solid carpet of shiny foliage dotted with flowers all summer. It is also perfect as an edging for flower beds and sunny paths. Sanvitalia procumbens, commonly known as Mexican creeping zinnia, is a species[1] of the Sanvitalia genus and a member of the Asteraceae (sunflower) family.
