History & Origin

Zennia is a spelling of Zinnia, the cheerful garden flower named for the botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn. Flower names have come and gone in waves since the Victorian era, and Zinnia rides the current one; the Z spelling gives it extra snap (said 'ZEN-ee-uh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., well behind Zinnia itself. Rare, floral, and bright.

Did you know? The zinnia is named for Johann Gottfried Zinn, an 18th-century botanist — and in flower language it stands for lasting affection, which makes Zennia a quietly sweet pick (said 'ZEN-ee-uh').
