• 🇩🇪 Benary’s Giant Zinnias were originally developed by the German seed company Ernst Benary specifically for the cut flower industry, which is why they have such strong stems and uniform blooms.
• 🌞 Zinnias are native to Mexico, which explains why they absolutely thrive in hot, sunny South African summers.
