Notes
'Peter Pan Orange' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Orange') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Big Smile sunflower, and Red fescue.
