Zinnias

If ever there was a flower that was destined for the vase it’s the zinnia. These long sturdy stems come in a number of varieties with single petals lined up around the open centre or as semi-doubles and full doubles. And the often greater than 90 cm stems of the Benary Giants look incredible in either vase or garden.

For the gardener they are very easy to get along with, this heat loving annual is fast growing so they shade out weeds. They are very low maintenance which makes them a time saver in large bed. And if you like butterflies and hummingbirds you can’t create a better nectar home than Benary Giant red and orange Zinnias.
