Zinnia Elegans 'Benary's Giant Orange', Benary's Giant series, Tall Garden Zinnia
Zinnia ‘Benary’s Giant Orange’ features rounded, fully double flowers packed with glowing orange petals and opening up to 6 in. across (15 cm). As the flower matures, a circle of small golden stars surrounds its center disk. Resembling dahlias, they are borne on very long, sturdy stems above the foliage of lance-shaped leaves, and make a big statement in the landscape. Blooming profusely over a long season extending from early summer to frost, this showy annual is a vigorous and excellent performer in all climates.
Enjoying a long vase life, ‘Giant Orange’ belongs to the well-known Series ‘Benary’s Giant’, a mildew-resistant Zinnia variety developed for the cut flower industry. It is one of the best tall, long-stemmed Zinnia varieties and is recommended by the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. It is exceptionally disease resistant and stands up well to heat, drought, and rain.
