Notes
'Benary's Giant Wine' zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant Wine') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast and blooms from early to late summer, and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Goldy Double sunflower, Xsenia cosmos, and Red fescue.
