Benary’s Giant Yellow Zinnia
3+ feet tall
65-70 days to flower
Zinnia elegans
Easy to grow & oh so cheerful, we love these fully double blooms often 4 to 6 inches wide on long, strong stems perfect for cutting. Like all zinnias, Benary’s Giant Yellow is prolific and their 2+ week vase life is nothing short of impressive. We also appreciate Benary’s Giant Yellow’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).

Absolutely love this ☀️ of a variety. So prolific, so contented even with deluge after deluge of excess, record breaking rains, no real disease or pest issues. Absolutely enormous, so abundantly generous, sometimes close to dahlia size blooms! I can’t wait to grow them year after year. Oh, and pollinators adore them! 🐝
