Benary’s Giant Coral Zinnia
3+ feet tall
65 - 70 days to flower
Zinnia elegans
So sumptuous and easy to grow, each fully double bloom often unfurls 4 to 6 inches wide on long, strong stems perfect for cutting. Like all zinnias, Benary’s Giant Coral is prolific and their 2+ week vase life is nothing short of impressive. We also appreciate Benary’s Giant Coral’s low susceptibility to powdery mildew, making it possible to harvest their copious blooms right up to frost. Zinnias thrive in gardens as well as raised beds and containers & the more you harvest, the more they bloom!

At Fruition we sow in soil blocks, and a heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. If not using soil blocks, transplant into larger containers when seedlings have true leaves (avoid plants becoming root bound).

I planted these for the first time this year. They are even more spectacular than the photos. The color is glowing. They look so lovely next to the Benary’s Wine and Purple Giant. Very tall! You will love these!
