Notes
'Orange Cupcake' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Orange Cupcake') 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 grows fast and has an erect habit. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms, and it tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Cosmic Orange cosmos, Sylphid celosia, and Red fescue.
