Notes

'Under the Sea' zinnia (Zinnia 'Under the Sea') 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 moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.

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