Notes
'Jim Baggett's Choice Mix' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Jim Baggett's Choice 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. It bears red, orange, and yellow blooms in a playful range of colors and shapes. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Zohar sunflower, Cosmic Orange cosmos, and Red fescue.
