- Sandra B.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/3/26Beautiful results!
2025 was my first year growing zinnias, and I was honestly impressed by how easy they were. I planted them in my small community garden plot by simply tossing the seeds in, lightly covering them with soil, and watering. Before I knew it, they were thriving and bursting with blooms.
The plants grew tall and showed off tons of gorgeous flowers in vibrant colors and beautiful petal layers. This year I will plant them in the back of my plot so they do not shade my other plants. The pollinators were just as obsessed as I was, and I will definitely be growing zinnias again.

So far, so good. Seeds sprouted in 2 days and they sent a free packet of mesclun seeds (which also sprouted in 2 days).
