Notes
'Benary's Giant White' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. 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. It grows fast and attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Drought tolerance makes it an easy plant to care for.
Pairs well with ProCut® Orange sunflower, Celosia, and Red fescue.
