Zinnia elegans Benary's Giant Salmon Rose

This cultivar boasts ample and vibrant orange blooms that are a rejuvenated version of a beloved traditional flower. Its strong and resilient growth pattern ensures consistent flowering from the middle of summer until the first frost. A stunning choice for any garden or as a fresh cut in a vase. A desirable species among pollinators.

How to sow: 

Sow seeds indoors 4 weeks before last frost. Maintain warm temperatures for improved germination. Harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors after last frost. May also be direct seeded once soil has warmed up. Pinch seedlings when 8” tall.

Care: 

Zinnias are easy to grow and are tolerant of heat and drought. For cut flowers, harvest opened blooms once the stems have stiffened. Deadhead for continuous blooms. 75-90 days to maturity.
