Zinnia Benary's Giant Lilac Seeds

Say hello to your bouquet’s new best friend! Benary’s Giant Lilac Zinnia is not just any flower, it’s a floral superstar with a flair for the dramatic and a heart for the heat. This cut-and-come-again annual bursts onto the scene with broad, double blooms in vivid lilac that slowly fade to a ghostly pale lavender, talk about a color shift worthy of an encore!

Standing tall at 3 to 4 feet with long, sturdy stems and impressive disease resistance, these blooms are made for the vase. Their large flower blooms turn heads (and hearts), making them a go-to for floral arrangements, garden parties, or just your kitchen counter needing a little extra fabulous.

Got sunshine? You’ve got zinnias! Easy to grow and heat-loving, Benary’s Giant Lilac thrives in full sun and rewards you with an ongoing floral show all season long. Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or direct sow when things warm up, either way, they’ll be ready for their garden debut!

Harvest tip: Give the stem a gentle wiggle and if it stands tall and strong, it’s showtime! Skip the cooler, and keep those stems perky in water with a dash of bleach to fight that infamous zinnia murk. With a vase life of up to 7 days, this beauty isn’t just a one-hit wonder. It’s the floral gift that keeps on giving.
