Notes
'Sweet Tooth Candy Corn' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Sweet Tooth Candy Corn') is an annual for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. It grows fast and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Diablo cosmos, Gummy Bear sunflower, Rock soapwort, and Red fescue.
