Notes
Crystal White zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Crystal White (angustifolia)') 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, and bees visit the blooms, which open in early to late summer. Deer tend to pass it by. Its erect stems grow quickly and handle dry spells well.
Pairs well with Sungold sunflower, Cotton Candy cosmos, and Red fescue.
