Notes
'Navajo Mixed' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Navajo Mixed') 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 sits low on the menu for deer. It grows fast and stands erect, and it is drought tolerant. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cotton Candy cosmos, Melampodium, and Red fescue.
