Benary’s Giants are the zinnias of choice for professional cut flower growers. Fully double, 10-15cm (4-6”) lime-green flowers have an excellent vase life. Vigorous plants perform well through the summer allowing for multiple cuts. Keep cutting for continuous blooms.

| Starting |
Just cover Zinnia seeds, and aim for a final spacing of 25-30cm (10-12″) between plants. |
| Growing |
Depending on the variety, it takes about two months after sowing for the first flowers to appear. Take regular cuttings of Zinnia stems to enjoy indoors, starting mid-summer right into the fall. Cutting encourages the production of new flowers and seems to stimulate the plants for greater vigour. Watch for signs of powdery mildew on the leaves, usually in late summer. Try to avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew. |
