Notes
'Peter Pan Plum' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Plum') 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 and stays erect, and it handles dry spells well. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Big Smile sunflower, and Red fescue.
