Notes
'Magellan Mix' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Magellan Mix') 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, stands erect, and handles dry spells well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Melampodium, Cosmic Orange cosmos, Hollyhock, and Red fescue.
