Notes
'Crestar Mix' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Crestar Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Sulfur cosmos, Sylphid celosia, and Red fescue.
