Notes
'Profusion Red Yellow Bicolor' plains zinnia (Zinnia grandiflora 'Profusion Red Yellow Bicolor') is an annual for borders, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or clay soil. It is drought tolerant, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Texas bluebonnet, Buffalo grass, and Greig's tulip.
