Notes
'Peter Pan Cream' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Cream') 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and stands erect, and it handles dry spells well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cotton Candy cosmos, Melampodium, and Red fescue.
