Notes
'Profusion Cherry' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Profusion Cherry') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast with an erect habit and tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms from summer into autumn. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, ProCut White Lite sunflower, and Red fescue.
