'Gold on Blue' Prairie Zinnia

'Gold on Blue' Prairie Zinnia (

Zinnia grandiflora 'Gold on Blue') is cultivated from a

vigorous Colorado selection of Zinnia grandiflora; a rare plant within the borders of Utah. 'GoldonBlue' brings sunny cheer to dry, sunny spots where many perennials struggle. Its soft blue‑gray foliage forms a tidy carpet, topped from mid‑summer into fall with glowing golden-yellow daisies that light up slopes, rock gardens, and borders. Developed from a vigorous Colorado selection, this zinnia spreads via rhizomes to form a natural, tidy groundcover—ideal for low-effort landscapes and erosion-prone soils.

Pair it with late-season bloomers like Coneflower or Goldenrod to extend garden interest. Pollinators flock to its daisy-like blooms, making this an easy-care plant for adding ecological value and bright color to summer gardens.
