Notes

'Double Zahara Yellow' zinnia (Zinnia marylandica 'Double Zahara Yellow') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It stands erect and grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Spider flower, Snapdragon, and First Knight fountain grass.
