Notes
'Magellan Coral' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Magellan Coral') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast, stands 12 to 24 inches tall, and tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, First Knight fountain grass, and Spider flower.
