Notes
'Oklahoma Salmon' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Oklahoma Salmon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. Give it full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. The bright salmon flowers have low susceptibility to powdery mildew and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer tend to pass it by. Plants grow 30 to 40 inches tall and bloom through summer.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, Gummy Bear sunflower, and Red fescue.
