Notes
'Oklahoma Pink' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Oklahoma Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It has an excellent vase life and low susceptibility to powdery mildew. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the pink blooms.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, Gummy Bear sunflower, and Red fescue.
