Great low-growing spreading annual. We use it underneath a tree by our patio, and it holds up to a lot of abuse. Lots of flowers, they just keep on coming. No maintenance. One year, a double-flowered plant popped up in the batch of seedlings, looking much more like the zinnia to which its common name refers. An oddity — I actually prefer the single-flowered daisy types.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: patio area
