Notes
'Zinderella Lilac' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Zinderella Lilac') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, and its blooms draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Cut the stems often for bouquets.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Spider flower, and First Knight fountain grass.
