Notes
'Giant Golden Yellow' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Giant Golden Yellow') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stays erect, with golden yellow blooms from early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Melampodium, and Red fescue.
