Notes

'Fantasy White Light' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Fantasy White Light') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It grows fast and stands upright, and it handles dry spells well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Diablo cosmos, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
