Growing Benary's Giant Wine Zinnia
‘Benary’s Giant Wine’ is an open-pollinated zinnia prized for its large, fully double blooms, rich wine-colored petals, and outstanding cut-flower performance. Long, sturdy stems support the impressive flowers beautifully, making this variety a favorite for both home cutting gardens and outdoor cut-flower production.
Plant ‘Benary’s Giant Wine’ seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 9 to 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 3 to 7 days. This heat- and drought-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm, sunny conditions.
Ready to bloom in about 70 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Regular cutting can help encourage continued flowering while providing a steady supply of long-lasting stems for arrangements.
Bold, elegant, and long lasting, ‘Benary’s Giant Wine’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, bouquets, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
