Notes
'Profusion White' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Profusion White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and stays 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Snapdragon, and First Knight fountain grass.
