'Fantasy Star Dust' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Fantasy Star Dust') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stands erect, and it is drought tolerant. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Diablo cosmos, Sylphid celosia, and Red fescue.
