Notes
'Yellow Zenith' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Yellow Zenith') 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. It grows fast and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Bright Lights cosmos, Sunrich Gold sunflower, and Red fescue.
