Notes
'Profusion Double Deep Salmon' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Profusion Double Deep Salmon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and stays 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and it is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Snapdragon, and First Knight fountain grass.
