Benary's Giant Lime Zinnia

Benary's Giant Lime Zinnias create high yields of long, strong stems topped with a three-inch dahlia-flowered dollop of lime. With an excellent vase life, Benary's Giant Lime is a fun addition to the cutting garden with its unique color. Bred with a greater tolerance to diseases, this zinnia series may be your new favorite as it holds up well under summer heat and rain, yielding multiple cuts while producing more as a cut-and-come-again flower.

DAYS TO GERMINATION:

3-5 days at 80-85°F (27-29°C)

SOWING:

Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling container 4 weeks before planting out. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - Sow 1/4" deep. Succession-sow/plant every 2 weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production. Very sensitive to frost.

LIGHT PREFERENCE:

Sun.
