Notes
'Oklahoma Golden Yellow' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Oklahoma Golden Yellow') 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 has excellent vase life and low susceptibility to powdery mildew. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Procut Red sunflower, Cosmic Orange cosmos, and Red fescue.
