Notes
'Bonanza' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Bonanza') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers, and the plant is drought tolerant. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Blooms open from early to late summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Cosmic Orange cosmos, Sungold sunflower, and Hollyhock.
