Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A premier cut flower, with fully double flowers, long tall stems and high mildew resistance. Not to mention the color of the blooms, sunrise color that makes me weak at the knees! Easy, direct sow favorite.
With its densely petalled, Dahlia-like blooms up to 6” across & growing to more than 3' tall, we love Benary's Giant Zinnias! Why else? Well, they hold up well in heat & rain, have a higher number of blooms, have long sturdy stems, are mildew resistant & are excellent in a vase. A great way to keep your cottagey-look going in the heat of the Summer & a must for the cutting garden! And what a pretty color! Rich soil for best show. Attracts butterflies!
