Notes
'Zahara Raspberry' zinnia (Zinnia marylandica 'Zahara Raspberry') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide with an erect habit. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and it tolerates drought once settled in.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, First Knight fountain grass, and Spider flower.
