Notes
'Yellow Ruffles' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Yellow Ruffles') 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 average, loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast and stands erect, and it handles dry spells well. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Diablo cosmos, and Hollyhock.
