Benary's Giant Deep Red, Zinnia Seeds

Benary's Giant Deep Red zinnias are renowned for their intense, vibrant color and impressive floral attributes. Developed by the Benary breeding program in Germany, this variety was created to offer gardeners a bold and enduring red hue combined with the reliable performance characteristic of Benary zinnias. The plants produce large, fully double flowers with a deep, rich red color that stands out prominently in garden beds and floral arrangements. Each bloom is distinguished by its densely packed, ruffled petals, which create a full, rounded appearance and add significant texture to the garden. Benary's Giant Deep Red zinnias typically reach heights of 24 to 36 inches and exhibit a bushy, upright growth habit, making them ideal for both garden beds and cutting gardens. They begin blooming in mid-summer and continue to produce their striking flowers well into the fall, often lasting until the first frost. These zinnias thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, demonstrating excellent heat tolerance and resistance to common garden pests. With their bold red color, substantial bloom size, and extended blooming period, Benary's Giant Deep Red zinnias are a dramatic and enduring choice for adding vibrant color and texture to any garden or floral display.

    Learning Download: How to Grow Zinnias

Zinnias are a popular flower and add a beautiful burst of color to a bouquet. Zinnias grow in many different colors and shapes and can bloom with flowers up to 6 inches in diameter.

Before Planting: Zinnias are a warm-weather flower, but they don’t like to be transplanted. Plant them directly outdoors when air and soil are 70 degrees or warmer.

Planting: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them depending on how you want them to grow in the garden.

Watering: Water Zinnias an inch a week, but make sure you don’t overwater because Zinnias are susceptible to mildew. When watering, water at the base of the plant and don’t get water on the leaves or stems.

Fertilizer: Work compost into the ground where you will be planting Zinnias early in the season so the compost has time to fertilize the soil.

Days to Maturity: Zinnias will begin to bloom in 60-70 days after being planted.

Harvesting: To use in a bouquet, cut the Zinnias above the leaves and place in a vase. More Zinnias will bloom on the stem.

Tips: To produce bushier Zinnias, pinch off the top of the plants when they are young.

Our Seed Promise

"Agriculture and seeds" provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.
