Notes
'Short Stuff White' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Short Stuff White') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is drought tolerant and grows quickly.
Pairs well with Celosia, Big Smile sunflower, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
