Notes
'Queeny Pure Orange' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Queeny Pure Orange') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching 28 to 40 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. Its mid-sized orange blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Procut White Nite sunflower, Radiance cosmos, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
