'Benary's Giant' blooms are truly giant at up to 6", and come in a rainbow of eye-pleasing colors for an impressive backdrop in your garden. Blooms are densely petaled, very long-lasting, and hold up well despite rain and summer's heat. Flower beds come alive as butterflies and other pollinators come to visit these vibrant flowers. Zinnias are edible, but have little flavor. The colorful flowers can make a pretty garnish to salads, desserts, cold drinks, or serving trays. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.) The Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers named 'Benary's Giant' series their very first Cut Flower of the Year in 1999.

    I'm absolutely thrilled with the incredible success of my zinnia patch! These flowers are thriving beautifully and have shown no signs of powdery mildew. By watering directly at the base of the plants, I've achieved remarkable growth. My favorite varieties include Benary's Zinnia, California Giants, Cut & Come Again, Exquisite, Purple Prince, Giant Flowered, State Fair, and Northern Light Zinnia, with Benary's Zinnia leading the pack as my top choice! I sow zinnia seeds directly into the ground during the first week of June, and it’s clear that zinnias are among the easiest flowers to grow from seeds. USDA Zone 6a Highlands Ranch, CO

    These are not the typical zinnia .

    The butterflies loved them; beautiful large blossoms with multiple bright colors .

    My zinnias are nearly 5 ft tall and thriving despite the fact that we have relatively dry summer. Deer avoids them !

    I have Dalia’s and canna growing with zinnias and it seems like a good company.
