Notes
'Small World Cherry' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Small World Cherry') 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 average, loamy soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Bloom runs from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Radiance cosmos, ProCut Plum sunflower, and Red fescue.
