Notes
'Profusion' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Profusion') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It is drought tolerant and draws butterflies and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Gentian sage, Morning Light eulalia, and Autumn Colors black-eyed Susan.
