Notes
'Queeny Red Lime' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Queeny Red Lime') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Its red, burgundy, and lime blooms have an unusual antique color, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The erect stems reach 30 to 40 inches tall and grow quickly.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, Orange Hobbit sunflower, and Red fescue.
