Benary’s Giant Salmon Rose offers high yields of 4″-6″ fully double, gorgeous flowers that almost look like dahlias. Branches are long and sturdy. In our evaluations and in consultation with other growers in other hardiness zones, color shows variations from true salmon color to tones of pink. We think that day length may be a factor that causes color variations.
This is an excellent zinnia variety to be used as a cut flower. Flowers have excellent vase life, and plants offer several cuts in a season.
