Notes
'Profusion Orange' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Profusion Orange') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It grows fast and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Snapdragon, and First Knight fountain grass.
