Notes
'Rosy Future' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Rosy Future') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It grows fast and handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with ProCut Plum sunflower, Cosmic Orange cosmos, and Red fescue.
