Zinnia "Benary's Golden Yellow"

The premium zinnia.

Recommended by the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. Vigorous all-season producers hold up well in summer rain and heat all over the country. Densely petaled blooms are up to 6" across. Long-lasting standouts in bouquets. 

Featuring extra large blooms and long, strong stems, this easy-to-grow annual thrives in heat and is great for beginning gardeners. Considered a “cut and come again” variety, zinnias perform well when harvested frequently. The more you cut, the more they bloom.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Grab the stem about 8” below the flower and gently shake. If the stem is droopy or bends much at all, it is not quite ready to cut. If the stem is stiff and remains erect, it is ready to harvest. If flower preservative is added to the water, zinnias should last 7-10 days in the vase.
