Notes
'Raspberry Limeade' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Raspberry Limeade') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast, stands erect, and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer. It is drought tolerant, and you can cut the stems for bouquets.
