How to Grow Zinnia 'Benary's Giant Scarlet'

Sowing Instructions:

  • Indoor Sowing (Recommended):

    • Start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting.
    • Sow 1 seed per plug in well-drained, nutrient-low media with pH 5.8-6.2.
    • Cover lightly with vermiculite.
    • Germination occurs in 7-10 days at 20-22°C (68-72°F).
  • Direct Sowing:

    • Sow ¼ inch deep directly in the field after the last frost.
    • Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) apart for optimal growth.

Growing On:

  • Transplant at two true leaf stage into well-drained soil.
  • Maintain a temperature of 15-18°C (60-65°F) for strong growth.
  • Fertilize weekly with 100-150 ppm nitrogen, using a balanced mix.
  • Pinching recommended at 30 cm (12 in) height to encourage branching.

Care Tips:

  • Avoid high ammonium and nitrogen levels, as excess nitrogen weakens stems.
  • Apply magnesium sulfate (0.05%) and iron chelate as needed to prevent deficiencies.
  • Harden plants before transplanting by gradually lowering temperatures to 12-14°C (54-57°F).
  • Protect against strong winds when planting in open fields.
