It has been our experience that Zinnia elegans 'Benary's Giant Purple' preforms well in our area in a warm season planting. It benefits from deadheading to keep it tidy. It has also been observed to droop when the plant becomes too tall. It is best used in an informal garden setting, such as in a cottage garden. It is about three feet tall by about two to two and a half feet wide.
