Notes

'Oklahoma Yellow' zinnia (Zinnia 'Oklahoma Yellow') 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 moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It resists powdery mildew, so it stays tidy through the season. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, Heath aster, and Canada wild rye.
