Notes
'Peter Pan Flame' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Flame') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast, stays upright, and tolerates drought. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cotton Candy cosmos, Red fescue, and Indigo bush.
