Notes
'Magellan Ivory' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Magellan Ivory') 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 on erect stems and blooms from early to late summer, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Sungold sunflower, Cotton Candy cosmos, and Red fescue.
