Notes
'Oklahoma Ivory' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Oklahoma Ivory') 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. Its erect stems reach 30 to 40 inches tall, and the ivory flowers have low susceptibility to powdery mildew. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Melampodium, Red fescue, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
