Notes
'Redman Super Cactus' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Redman Super Cactus') is an annual for borders, cut flower gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching 24 to 36 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Spider flower, and First Knight fountain grass.
