Notes

'Mazurkia' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Mazurkia') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall.

Pairs well with Snapdragon, First Knight fountain grass, and Spider flower.
