Notes
'Carved Ivory' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Carved Ivory') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Deer tend to pass it by. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, Sungold sunflower, and Red fescue.
