Notes

'Sweet Tooth Candy Cane' zinnia (Zinnia 'Sweet Tooth Candy Cane') is an annual for borders, 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms from summer into autumn and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, Canada wild rye, and Heath aster.
