Zinnia 'Benary's Giant Orange' Seed

Bold Orange Giant Zinnia | Tall Cutting Garden Statement | Cut Flower Favorite

There's a certain kind of zinnia that stops people mid-walk down the row — this is that zinnia. Benary's Giant Orange brings huge, fully double blooms in a vivid, sun-warmed orange to the back of the border, where it belongs.

How to Grow
Direct sow after all danger of frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks early for a jump on the season. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, then let it dry slightly between waterings. Pinch young plants at 4 sets of leaves to encourage branching and more blooms. Give this variety extra room — it grows tall. Cut often for the vase.

Good to Know
As one of the taller varieties in the Benary's Giant line, this one benefits from a little wind protection or light support in exposed spots. Good air circulation helps prevent powdery mildew late in the season.
