Benarys Giant Orange Selling Tips
Benarys Giant Orange is a proven, high-energy performer with a professional reputation. Use for fresh-cut arrangements, floral styling, summer garden displays, or to add a pop of color to bouquets.
General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8 to 6.2. Avoid heavy, wet soil and provide good airflow around the plants. Feed weekly at 100 to 150 ppm nitrogen using a balanced fertilizer. Avoid overfeeding, as excess nitrogen can lead to soft growth and weaker stems.
Flowering
For the Zinnia Benary's Giant series, you can expect a continuous bloom period from spring all the way until the first frost. They bloom earliest during short days.
Pinching
Pinching is not recommended for the Benary's Giant series.
Spacing
Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart for cut-flower or garden production. Good spacing helps support strong stems and reduces disease issues.
Pests
Regularly scout your crop for common pests including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and leaf miners.
Disease
Stay vigilant for powdery mildew, Botrytis, bacterial leaf spot, and Alternaria leaf spot . Maintaining proper air circulation and allowing plants to dry before nightfall are your best defenses against infection.
Planting Benarys Giant Orange Liners
Grow one plant per cell pack or 4-inch container under standard production practices. For 10-inch pots, 3 to 4 plugs are recommended to produce a balanced, full appearance.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
