I have not grown this plant. Shortray zinnia (Zinnia anomala) is a native plant. It only is found growing natively in Texas and Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo León, Zacatecas). Look for it growing along open, rocky roadsides and disturbed areas in limestone rich areas. Its stems are much branched and yellowish in color. The leaves are linear and measure 15–30 × 1–4 mm and have stiff, straight, closely appressed hair. Bloom time is March through November. Its blooms sometimes lack rays or have inconspicuous rays (5-8). Its heads are larger than other Trans-Pecos zinnias.
