Notes
'Profusion Cherry Bicolor' plains zinnia (Zinnia grandiflora 'Profusion Cherry Bicolor') is an annual for borders, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a slow clumping mound and tolerates drought. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Texas bluebonnet, Buffalo grass, and Panicle hydrangea.
