Notes
'Zowie! Yellow Flame F1' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Zowie! Yellow Flame F1') 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 average, loamy soil. It grows fast and stands erect, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Bright Lights cosmos, Zohar sunflower, and Red fescue.
