🌸 Benary’s Giant Zinnia Mix (Zinnia elegans) The Professional’s Choice: The Industry Gold Standard for Cut Flowers If you are looking for the absolute "King" of the zinnia world, you have found it. Benary’s Giant Mix is the premier professional-grade zinnia, prized by flower farmers and home gardeners alike for its massive, dahlia-like blooms and unrivaled performance. Reaching up to 4 inches across and sitting atop thick, sturdy stems, these zinnias offer a breathtaking rainbow of vibrant, saturated colors that stay beautiful in the garden and the vase far longer than standard varieties. 📜 Historical Heritage & The Benary Legacy The story of this variety is rooted in the excellence of European horticultural history. It was developed by Ernst Benary, the founder of the legendary Benary Seed Company in Erfurt, Germany. Founded in 1843, Benary is one of the oldest and most respected family-owned seed houses in the world. For generations, the Benary family focused on breeding plants that combined ornamental beauty with "industrial" strength. The Benary’s Giant series was the pinnacle of this effort. While other zinnias were prone to flopping or succumbing to disease, the Benary’s were bred for professional floristry. They were selected for long, stiff stems that wouldn't bend in a vase and, most importantly, for a high level of powdery mildew resistance—a breakthrough in zinnia breeding that made them a favorite across the globe. Today, it remains the most-planted zinnia series by commercial cut-flower growers worldwide. ✨ Product Highlights Massive Double Blooms: Produces 3-to-4-inch, fully double flowers that resemble dahlias in their complexity and depth. Vibrant Color Palette: A joyous mix of scarlet, orange, yellow, white, rose, purple, and coral. Elite Stem Strength: Long, thick stems (up to 40 inches) that are designed to support the heavy weight of the giant blossoms. Disease Resistant: Specifically bred to withstand powdery mildew better than almost any other giant zinnia variety. Butterflies & Pollinators: The wide, nectar-rich faces are a preferred landing pad for Monarchs, Swallowtails, and bees. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Professional Selection) Growth Habit Tall, Upright, Well-branched Height 36 to 48 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Size 3 to 4 inches across Days to Maturity 75–90 Days 🌱 How to Grow Benary’s Giant Zinnias 1. Sowing the Seeds:Zinnias are fast-growing and prefer to be direct-sown once the soil is warm (70°F+) and all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds roughly 6 inches apart, then thin to 12–15 inches apart once they are established to allow for the best airflow. 2. The "Pinch" for Maximum Yield:To get the most "cuts" per plant, pinch the central stem back by 3–4 inches when the plant is about 12 inches tall. This signals the plant to branch out from the base, resulting in many more long-stemmed flowers rather than just one main bloom. 3. Soil & Water: Watering: Always water at the base of the plant. Avoid wetting the foliage, as this is the best way to prevent powdery mildew and leaf spot. Feed: Amend the soil with compost at planting. A balanced organic fertilizer once or twice during the peak of summer will help maintain the massive bloom size. 4. Harvesting for the Vase:Zinnias do not open much after they are cut. Harvest when the flower is fully open. The Wiggle Test: Grab the stem 6 inches below the flower and shake it. If the neck is stiff and the flower doesn't flopping around, it’s ready to be cut for the longest vase life. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Because of their height, Benary’s Giants should be placed at the back of your flower beds. They provide a stunning, colorful "wall" that serves as a backdrop for shorter flowers. For a professional-looking garden, plant them in color-coordinated groups rather than a random mix to create bold "pops" of color. Garden Tip: The more you cut these flowers, the more they will bloom! Don't be afraid to harvest massive bouquets; the plant will respond by producing even more buds until the first hard frost. ✂️🌈

3-5 Eye Rootstock - We try to only provide the largest rootstock for peonies for stronger roots that lead to better blooms.  2-3 eye roostock is the most common size offered and occassionally it is what we have to use, but 3-5 eyes per root is our goal and we always will say the stock is 2-3 eyes. Eyes are the buds of the leaves and stems that will grow this season for you. 
Shipping - See options to select from - All peonies are packed in spagnum moss or other media to ensure they make it to your garden in pristine condition. We do adjust for shipping charges as every year is slighly different in weights and sizes. 
Planting Care - Bare roots should be kept cool and in the dark until ready to plant.  Peonies do not like to be planted deep and eyes should be kept no deeper than 1" below the soil surface. When possible, it is a great idea to mound your peonies above your existing garden grade to accommodate mulch.  Plant no deeper than 1-2". The roots will quickly develop and anchor into the ground.

3-5 Eye Rootstock- We try to only provide the largest rootstock for peonies for stronger roots that lead to better blooms.  2-3 eye roostock is the most common size offered and occassionally it is what we have to use, but 3-5 eyes per root is our goal. Eyes are the buds of the leaves and stems that will grow this season for you.  
Shipping - Ships first two weeks of May- All peonies are packed in spagnum moss or other media to ensure they make it to your garden in pristine condition. We do adjust for shipping charges as every year is slighly different in weights and sizes. We also ship the last 2 weeks of September as well. 
Planting Care - Bare roots should be kept cool and in the dark until ready to plant.  Peonies do not like to be planted deep and eyes should be kept no deeper than 1" below the soil surface. When possible, it is a great idea to mound your peonies above your existing garden grade to accommodate mulch.  Plant no deeper than 1-2". The roots will quickly develop and anchor into the ground.

🍬 Peppermint Stick Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) The Candy-Striped Classic of the Summer Garden Add a touch of whimsical, old-fashioned charm to your flower beds with the Peppermint Stick Zinnia. True to its name, this heirloom variety looks like it was plucked straight from a Victorian candy shop. Each bloom features a base of cream, white, gold, or pale pink, splashed and "flecked" with bold streaks of crimson, scarlet, and deep purple. No two flowers are exactly alike, making every bloom a unique surprise in your garden or bouquet. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin Striped and "mottled" zinnias have been a source of fascination for gardeners for over a century. While the wild Zinnia elegans is native to Mexico, the Peppermint Stick type was perfected and popularized by American and European seed houses in the mid-20th century. Historically, these zinnias were part of a breeding movement that focused on "fantasy" colors and "picotee" patterns. The Peppermint Stick variety became a nostalgic staple in mid-century "cutting gardens" because it offered a complex, multi-colored look from a single packet of seeds. Today, it is cherished by heirloom enthusiasts who want to break up the solid colors of modern landscapes with a bit of "splashed" artistic flair that feels like a throwback to a simpler time. ✨ Product Highlights Whimsical Patterns: Every flower features a unique combination of stripes, spots, and flecks—no two are identical! A "Dahlia-Flowered" Heirloom: Produces double and semi-double blooms that are 2–3 inches wide on sturdy stems. Pollinator Playground: Their bright, complex patterns are a visual beacon for butterflies, honeybees, and hummingbirds. Exceptional Cut Flower: These zinnias have long, strong stems and a vase life that can exceed 7–10 days. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Heirloom) Growth Habit Upright, Branching Bush Height 24 to 36 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Size 2 to 3 inches wide Days to Maturity 75–85 Days 🌱 How to Grow Peppermint Stick Zinnias 1. Sowing the Seeds:Zinnias are famous for being "fuss-free." They prefer to be direct-sown into the garden once the soil is warm (above 70°F) and the danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds roughly 4 inches apart, then thin to 10–12 inches apart once they are established. Note: If starting indoors, use biodegradable peat or paper pots to avoid disturbing the sensitive taproots during transplanting. 2. The Best Environment: Full Sun: These are heat-loving plants; the more sun they get, the more vibrant the "peppermint" stripes will be. Soil: They prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter but are quite adaptable to average soil. 3. Watering Wisely:To prevent powdery mildew (a common zinnia issue), always water at the base of the plant. Try to keep the foliage dry, especially in humid climates. 4. Promote "Bushiness":When your seedlings reach about 10–12 inches tall, pinch off the top inch of the main stem. This encourages the plant to branch out, resulting in a fuller bush and significantly more flowers throughout the season. 5. Harvesting for Bouquets:Cut stems in the cool of the early morning. Use the "Wiggle Test": grab the stem 6 inches below the flower and shake it gently.

The Candy-Striped Classic of the Summer Garden
Add a touch of whimsical, old-fashioned charm to your flower beds with the Peppermint Stick Zinnia. True to its name, this heirloom variety looks like it was plucked straight from a Victorian candy shop. Each bloom features a base of cream, white, gold, or pale pink, splashed and "flecked" with bold streaks of crimson, scarlet, and deep purple. No two flowers are exactly alike, making every bloom a unique surprise in your garden or bouquet.

<h3 data-line="7" id="📜 Historical Heritage &amp; Origin">📜 Historical Heritage &amp; Origin</h3>
Striped and "mottled" zinnias have been a source of fascination for gardeners for over a century. While the wild Zinnia elegans is native to Mexico, the Peppermint Stick type was perfected and popularized by American and European seed houses in the mid-20th century.
Historically, these zinnias were part of a breeding movement that focused on "fantasy" colors and "picotee" patterns. The Peppermint Stick variety became a nostalgic staple in mid-century "cutting gardens" because it offered a complex, multi-colored look from a single packet of seeds. Today, it is cherished by heirloom enthusiasts who want to break up the solid colors of modern landscapes with a bit of "splashed" artistic flair that feels like a throwback to a simpler time.

<h3 data-line="34" id="🌱 How to Grow Peppermint Stick Zinnias">🌱 How to Grow Peppermint Stick Zinnias</h3>
1. Sowing the Seeds: Zinnias are famous for being "fuss-free." They prefer to be direct-sown into the garden once the soil is warm (above 70°F) and the danger of frost has passed.
<ul data-line="38">
<li data-line="38">Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.</li>
<li data-line="39">Space seeds roughly 4 inches apart, then thin to 10–12 inches apart once they are established.</li>
<li data-line="40">
Note: If starting indoors, use biodegradable peat or paper pots to avoid disturbing the sensitive taproots during transplanting.</li>
</ul>
2. The Best Environment:
<ul data-line="43">
<li data-line="43">
Full Sun: These are heat-loving plants; the more sun they get, the more vibrant the "peppermint" stripes will be.</li>
<li data-line="44">
Soil: They prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter but are quite adaptable to average soil.</li>
</ul>
3. Watering Wisely: To prevent powdery mildew (a common zinnia issue), always water at the base of the plant. Try to keep the foliage dry, especially in humid climates.
4. Promote "Bushiness": When your seedlings reach about 10–12 inches tall, pinch off the top inch of the main stem. This encourages the plant to branch out, resulting in a fuller bush and significantly more flowers throughout the season.
5. Harvesting for Bouquets: Cut stems in the cool of the early morning. Use the "Wiggle Test": grab the stem 6 inches below the flower and shake it gently. If the neck is stiff and doesn't droop, it’s ready for the vase!
