Notes
'Holi Scarlet' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Holi Scarlet') 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 moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows fast and tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Procut White Nite sunflower, Asian Garden celosia, and Red fescue.
