Zinnia ‘Benary’s Giant Carmine’
ETA: Shipping begins Mid February
Rich colour, generous blooms, and unmistakable presence.
Zinnia ‘Benary’s Giant Carmine’ is a standout for gardeners who love depth and drama. Among the largest-flowered zinnias available, this variety produces broad, fully double blooms in a glowing raspberry-pink that only gets better with time. As flowers mature, the outer petal tips softly fade, creating a layered, dimensional look that adds richness and movement to bouquets.
Tall, strong plants offer excellent disease resistance and long, sturdy stems, solving the common zinnia challenge of floppy growth and short cutting length. These blooms bring confidence and colour to the garden and translate effortlessly into abundant, high-impact arrangements.
Because a great flower should feel just as good at the end of the week as it did on day one.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, then transplant outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Zinnias can also be direct-seeded after the weather has warmed. Pinching encourages branching and more blooms.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Use the wiggle test before cutting. Hold the stem about 8 inches below the bloom and gently shake. If the stem bends, wait. If it stays firm and upright, it is ready to harvest. Do not place zinnias in the cooler. They can cloud vase water quickly, so add a few drops of bleach to keep stems fresh. Expect a vase life of about 7 days.
A richly coloured classic that delivers strength, beauty, and lasting impact all summer long.
