Notes

'Peppermint Stick Zinnia' (Zinnia elegans 'Peppermint Stick Zinnia') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun. It grows 24 to 30 inches tall, so it works well toward the middle or back of a bed. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. You can snip stems for bouquets, and regular cutting gives you more flowers to enjoy.

Pairs well with Clary sage, Fountain grass, and Lemon thyme.
