'Benary's Giant Lime' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant Lime') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and blooms from early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Celosia, Big Smile sunflower, and Red fescue.
