Notes
'Queeny Lime Red' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Queeny Lime Red') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching 24 to 47 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Spider flower, and First Knight fountain grass.
