Notes
'Benary's Giant Golden Yellow' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant Golden Yellow') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and stays erect, and it is drought tolerant. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sunrich Orange sunflower, Celosia, and Red fescue.
