Notes
'Peter Pan Scarlet' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Peter Pan Scarlet') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast with an erect habit and tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, ProCut® Orange sunflower, and Red fescue.
