Notes
'Lemon Cupcake' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Lemon Cupcake') 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 grows fast and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Cosmic Orange cosmos, Sylphid celosia, and Red fescue.
