An eye-engaging combination, these 4"–5" bright beauties have amazing, intense color. The heat-loving, tall plants are great for the back of the flowerbed, and are a sight to behold when planted in mass. Blooms last a very long time on the plant, and in the vase when cut for gorgeous arrangements. Zinnias are edible, but have little flavor. The colorful flowers can make a pretty garnish to salads, desserts, cold drinks, or serving trays. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.)

Tall, colorful zinneas

5 out of 5 stars Sep 3, 2019
I planted a handful of these seeds in my full-sun garden plot. They all germinated and produced 4 foot tall healthy plants with many vibrant flowers. The zinneas attracted lots of pollinators.

My new favorite

I love these flowers, and so do the butterflies! I planted them right next to my backdoor and watch the monarchs on them every day. They are easy to grow and simply great.

Best Zinnias I have grown

The colors are so vibrant. I was participating in a Fall yard tour and wanted autumn like colors. I am in Texas and I started new zinnias for fall. They took 2 months to bloom and they are just beautiful now.

It was like working in a florist's factory

They were slow to start (which I think is just my perception; too many time-lapse nature films as a girl) but we had all the cut flowers we wanted inside all summer long + I was leaving them bouquets at the neighbors' houses like crazy lol

Sun Hungry, Intensely Colored

5 out of 5 stars Sep 8, 2021
Intense reds and oranges, very good germination rates, cutworms sadly wiped out a number of them early on. Super sun hungry, as the ones I planted too far under the overhang of our patio were very leggy and wormed their way toward the light. Nevertheless they ended up blooming prettily. As with most zinnias, the first blooms are nice, but they look even better as the plant fills in and branches out. A nice blend overall.
