Carla Larson on Mar 07, 2014Lucky you, a bird may have left it for you in it's droppings or the wind blew it in. I too think it is a Zinnia of some sort, if 5 foot tall must be a hybred. I think they are annuals (someone correct me if wrong) but you may have some luck with the seeds..I would plant a few inside to see if they grow and then transplant when the weather is nice..good luckHelpful Reply

Susan Davis on Mar 09, 2014It is def a Zinnia and they are annual , they re- seed themselves , but wise to collect seeds from them in case you have ones with unique colors you would like to propagate . They can grow very tall, I had some that topped over 5 ft.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Mar 09, 2014I do love Zinas! They are hardy, colorful and the more of them you cut for taking inside, the more you have. The one thing about these is that they make beautiful accents inside! I think I am going to plant some this summer! (Along with some things that can be eaten!)Helpful Reply

Dawn M Orcutt on Mar 09, 2014Thank you so much everyone!!!! I am so excited to see if it comes back again, I will plant the seeds in a lot of other places also. That part of my little flower bed is the weirdest, I have ever seen, flowers that are not supposed to grow back do, things appear as in that plant. What was very weird as there was a few of them growing and I pulled them all out thinking they were weeds, in the spring of last year. Because I had planted so much stuff, and I knew I didn't plant those. I bet there was 10 in the area, that were probably about 4-5 inches, i was like dang weeds..lol But I left the one go, and it was so beautiful. I just don't know how to keep it standing straight up.Helpful Reply

Dawn M Orcutt on Mar 09, 2014This is the plant in the beginning of July, and all the little flowers across the bottom (Blues, lite Blues, purples etc.) all came back from the yr before also. I had it happen for 2 yrs before, then had to plant and this was the 2nd yr again. I am not real familiar with flowers but I just plant what I like. LOL Here is the Zina 2 months later. It lasted till Nov, when the snow came.Helpful Reply

Claudia on Mar 09, 2014Zinnias and Dalhias are quite much the same family of flowers. The 2 big differences are trhat Dalhias grow from tubers and zinnias grow from seeds, Dalhias are perennials and Zinnias are annuals. Both plants feature bold, bright-colored flowers and come in a variety of types ranging from single petal blooms surrounding a center to pompoms with multiple layers of petals. The flowers bloom all summer and last into fall until the first frost. All work well in cut flower arrangements. Dahlias plants can become quite large and often need to be staked for support. Zinnias have typically been used more as a border or bedding plant. Both are attractive to butterflies.Helpful Reply
