Description
Zesty Scarlet zinnia produces vivid scarlet flowers for warm-season garden color and cut arrangements. Plant after the last spring frost in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Alabama summers suit zinnias, but humidity makes spacing and airflow important. Water deeply at the base as needed, rather than frequently wetting foliage, and remove faded blooms to encourage fresh flowers. Watch for powdery mildew during muggy weather. This frost-sensitive annual is attractive to butterflies and other pollinators.
