Notes
'Zowie! Yellow Flame' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Zowie! Yellow Flame') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. Deer tend to browse other plants first. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types, and it grows fast to 12 to 24 inches tall with orange, magenta, or bicolor blooms that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with ProCut® Orange sunflower, Celosia, Hollyhock, and Red fescue.
