Even a complete beginner can easily handle growing the Benary’s Giant White Zinnia. Zinnias do not tolerate frost at all, so planting them outdoors only makes sense after the last frost (mid-May).
There are essentially two ways to approach growing them from seeds. You can either sow them directly into the garden bed during May and June, or start your seedlings indoors in April and May. When starting seeds, sow 1 to 2 seeds into larger seed trays. The seeds require darkness to germinate properly, so be sure to cover them well with a little substrate. Keep the temperature at a pleasant 20 to 22 °C, and you will have your first green sprouts within 5 to 10 days.
Once they have had 3 to 5 weeks of growth in the seed tray, it is the right time to move them outdoors.
To achieve the maximum number of beautiful blooms, we recommend following a few practical tips:
In the garden bed, give the zinnias plenty of sun and nutrient-rich, humus-heavy, sandy-loam soil that you keep slightly moist. By regularly removing spent blooms, they will flower beautifully from July until the first frosts. These flowers are a perfect choice for cutting for bouquets, they are edible, and they act as a magnet for bees and butterflies. During the season, just check occasionally to see if aphids have settled on the leaves, and during rainy spring days, keep an eye out for slugs, which love to snack on young shoots.
Harvest the flowers in the morning when the plants are hydrated. Choose flowers with firm stems—when you shake the stem, the area under the flower head must not feel "rubbery" or bend. Also, check the center of the flower; the less the yellow centers have opened, the longer they will last in a vase (about a week).
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
