Notes
'Giant Dahlia Flowered Mix' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Giant Dahlia Flowered Mix') 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its red, orange, and yellow flowers open in summer and autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit them. It is drought tolerant and is a must for the cutting garden.
Pairs well with Sylphid celosia, Zohar sunflower, and Hollyhock.
