Zinnia - Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant Salmon Rose'

The Zinnia 'Benary's Giant Salmon Rose' enchants with its dahlia-like blooms, which shine in a smoky salmon pink. Its magnificently double flower heads are an eye-catcher in any garden or arrangement. The plant impresses with particularly long, sturdy stems and an unusually long flowering period in a vase. This Zinnia is a cut-and-come-again flower, allowing for multiple cuts throughout the season.

Zinnias are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also important sources of nectar for our beneficial insects!

Growing tips:
The pre-grown plants should not be planted outdoors until after the last frost. Regular pruning promotes growth and can extend the flowering window. With regular watering, zinnias are easy-care plants. Once the plants are about 15 to 20 cm tall, they can be pinched, meaning the main stem is shortened. This will make the zinnias bushier and produce more flowers.
