Great Flowers

May 4, 2021Wonderful germination rate. I planted about 6 seeds and most germinated, though a couple were lost to pests. I have an orange, pink, and white and plant to grow more to see what colors I I get. Mine are double petal but not big dome dahlia-type. They're very showy, especially the orange.

Oct 2, 2021These guys are freaking huge and some of my favorite flowers I grow. Ive failed at plenty of garden activities but zinnias are a no-fail kind of crop that are hard to mess up.
Once I took the squash out they were growing next to, they got really big and tall and are finally fading away in October.

Nov 5, 2021I wouldn't necessarily call them giant, but they were pretty and did very well. First time I've been successful growing zinnias. Also, did not get the mildew on them.

Nov 10, 2021These 5-7 foot zinneas were UNBELIEVABLE! The different colors and patterns were just incredible. These were my husband's favorite thing we grew. People that saw them couldn't believe you could grow flowers like that in Colorado or that zinneas came in such a large variety. Butterflies and bumblebees adored them. I wish I could add pictures to show the variety of hues and general beauty of these plants. Highly, highly recommend.

Dec 1, 2021This is my favorite tall zinnia to grow. I do plant them closer than advised, so, in my area the powdery mildew sets in late. I do like them blended with nicotiana and cosmos. Thank you for carrying these, Botanical Interests!

Jun 30, 2022The Zinnias are blooming now. They are not quite as tall as I expected, but they make the pollinators happy & me smile.

Owner Response: Hi Judith, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad that you and the pollinators are happy with these Zinnias. This variety grows 3 to 4 inches tall, while other Zinnia varieties will grow taller.
