a gorgeous and easy to grow classic

5 out of 5 stars Jul 21, 2018
You can't beat the simplicity and ease of a garden of zinnias. These colorful and easy to grow flowers will self sow and continue to provide you with flowers year round in Florida. The multi colored blooms are always covered by butterflies and bees. They also stay fresh in a vase for quite a few days to brighten up any inside room.

The name is not deceiving!

These beauties took the heat and ran with it! I live outside of Houston and the hot and muggy made the Zinnias grow like crazy!! I do suggest you cut the flowers often because when you cut them more and more flowers grew. Great color and size too. I already bought more for next spring.

Fantastic Flowers!

These Zinnias are great. I planted them all through my vegetable garden for pollinators and to add a pop of color and they're growing robustly, no fuss even where other plants struggle. The flowers are cheerful and bright, make a great summer centerpiece for the kitchen table!

We LOVED the cut and come again zinnias and have reordered. While other flowers struggled, these beautiful gems happily grew flower after flower. I loved taking some inside to brighten up the house and always left some for the bees. I can't wait to grow them again this year and will plant more.

I grow these every year for their lovely, long lasting blooms and for the yellow swallowtail and monarch butterflies that visit them.

Poor cutting flowers

2 out of 5 stars Jul 23, 2020
I am really not happy with these. The flowers are small, about 1 inch across. The stems down to the next braching node are 6-8 inches. They make poor cutting flowers. On the positive side, the grow well in hot weather.

Owner Response: Hello Ellen, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry you were unsatisfied with there flowers. In good growing conditions, these flowers produce 2"-2 1/2" wide flowers. Phosphorous can assist flower plants to produce more and larger flowers. Liquid fertilizer is faster acting and you could try a phosphorus-rich formula this season. You may consider performing a soil test to see if amendments can improve the growing conditions. We hope you will try these gardener favorites again.

Giant blooms throughout the summer

These flowers are such reliable and dependable friends. I've used these seeds year after year with amazing results. They continuously bloom throughout the summer - apt name cut-and-come-again - and are great for beginner gardeners and little ones to watch grow

A Happy Return!

This mix has a great variety! They bloom at about 1' , then continue to grow and bloom to about 3'. They grow and overshadow weeds and grasses you may have missed pulling, which is great for lazy weeders like me! I didn't have the heart to thin them, and may have caused the powdery mildew around beginning of fall. Butterflies love them. My favorite part was the surprise reseed the next year that resulted in blooms just as heavy as the first year, with several plants popping up in the lawn looking very cute as I mowed around them. :)

What better way to say "thank you" to a family and friends by sending them seed packets of their favorite flower, the Zinnia, to plant in their flower garden to enjoy!

Your flower seeds are the best! Both types of zinnias were beautiful. Many pretty colors. I am sad to pull the zinnias out today because there is going to be frost tonight in Illinois. Will look forward to next years zinnias.

Still flowering in mid October!

4 out of 5 stars Oct 15, 2020
I planted these in spring and they're still flowering in mid October in zone 6! Did great in containers and survived high winds on my 5th floor balcony. Love the variety of colors. My flowers were a little small but I think that's because they've struggled a bit due to persistent pest issues I've had all summer- the fact that these are flowering at all just shows how hardy and easy they are. Definitely planting these again next year.

These little Zinnias are so sweet and the bees love them. They weren't fussy and have done very well in our North Texas climate. I'll buy these again.

Wonderful!

These marigolds were a great hit, with interesting and varied colors and beautiful blooms that have lasted late into Fall. I even had enough marigolds for my Dia de los Muertos (favorite holiday) ofrenda! That's a first for my PNW climate.

I love these flowers

5 out of 5 stars May 25, 2021
These flowers have the two things I look for in a plant: easy to grow, and beautiful flowers. I started about a dozen of these indoors and planted them out in raised beds and containers to amazing results. They do seem like a pest magnet, as several plants are dealing with aphids but that doesn't stop them from pumping out beautiful flowers, which they use to attract several beneficial insects. Such as hover flies, ladybugs, garden spiders and even a few praying mantis. My only real issue is that I don't get a lot of variety when it comes to flower color, the majority of the blooms are either red, pink, or magenta, with the occasional orange and very rare cream. Regardless, this is my third year growing this variety and I will continue to grow this for many years to come.

Worked for me

5 out of 5 stars Oct 27, 2021
This was the first time I ever grew flowers from seed and I'm a senior! I was able to keep a bouquet of zinnias on my dining room table from mid-June through late October. These do keep producing blossoms. I started them in mid-February indoors and put them outside in mid-May.

SO. EASY. TO. GROW.

5 out of 5 stars Jun 5, 2022
I have been so impressed by this variety of zinnia. They bloomed a little over a month after I planted them outside in my full sun garden bed. They're definitely a smaller sized zinnia compared to other "Giant" varieties, but I love them. They have so many blooms so quickly, in all kinds of different colors. A word of advice: BUY THEM! You won't regret it! Super easy germination as well!
Lauren from TX

zinnias.

5 out of 5 stars Jun 5, 2022
These were quite late because of our cold crazy spring but are quite a delight now. I got so many zinnias....polar bear...queen lime....lime blush. These latter ones are smaller but I bought them from Baker Creek I think...not positive. But these giant ones are so gorgeous. I set my chair right by them , they are my inspiration. I started a bunch of white echinacea too and I love my pink one from last year. I think the echinacea was from Etsy.
Carol from AR

I SO enjoyed these flowers!!

5 out of 5 stars Oct 13, 2022
I planted cut & come zinnias instead of green beans this summer and I enjoyed these flowers sooo much. The colors and variety of blooms make such a happy arrangement, the colors all working well together, being bright and cheery. I gave friends & neighbors many sweet bouquets with some greenery from my yard and I looked like a pro flower arranger! It was these easy, fabulous flowers that spread joy and made me look like a pro!
