Notes
'Fantastic Light Pink' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Fantastic Light Pink') 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. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast, stands erect, and handles drought well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms from early summer into autumn.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, Sylphid celosia, and Red fescue.
