Zinnia - elegans "Benary´s Giant Carmine"

Zinnia with long, strong stems and 10-15 cm large flowers!

Sow indoors 4-6 weeks before planting out and the risk of frost is over.
Zinnias do not like cold, so plant them out 2-3 weeks after the last frost.
Zinnias can also be direct sown when the soil has warmed up and the weather has become warmer.

Feel free to pinch and pick regularly for more flowering.
Blooms until frost.
An excellent flower for cutting and lasts a long time in a vase.

Tip:
Before harvesting Zinnias, grab the stem about 20 cm below the flower and shake gently. If the stem is drooping or bending, it is not quite ready to be cut. If the stem is stiff and remains upright, it is ready to be harvested.
