    Will definitely buy again (Missouri 6b)

    I bought these on a whim. I love zinnias, and I wanted some kind of flower to mix in with my edible garden. I'm a fend-for-yourself in-ground gardener - if something needs a lot of babysitting, I don't usually grow it again. I (literally) threw these seeds all over my yard to see where they would grow best. They did not take in my dry, rocky, unprepared bed (shocker). In my established bed (which still has some clay soil), they took some time to germinate and grow to maturity, but they were worth the wait. I got plants that were 3-4 feet tall with blooms popping left and right (the attached picture was only the first set of blooms). The pollinators loved them and I hardly had to water them at all, even in the 105° drought we had this year (they weren't thriving under my neglect, but they survived). They are still around now at the end of October, and I've had a few monarch butterflies stopping to feed from them. I'll be ordering more for next year. I think they would look lovely as a hedgerow.

    Hey Olivia,

    We're absolutely stoked to hear that our Cut and Come Again Zinnia Seeds are going to be a repeat purchase for you! We love that you threw caution to the wind and scattered them all over your yard to find their sweet spot.

    We're really happy to hear that they held up so well through that intense 105° drought and that the pollinators have been loving them. A hedgerow of these sounds absolutely beautiful, and we think that's a fantastic idea. We'd love it if you'd send photos if you decide to move forward with this plan.

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and our gardening community!

    Keep on growing 🌻

    Better color variety than other packs by other brands

    I'd picked this pack because I enjoyed cut and come again earlier in our season from a brand I got at a grocery store. I was blown away by the color variety in this pack compared to the other one. Oranges, ice pinks, and yellows in addition to the standard pinks and reds. Great value and superior to other seeds.

    Lovely!!

    I know the description says over 2’ but they might’ve been 4 feet tall. Definitely taller than the Envy Zinnia I planted them next to. Super sturdy stems (they did need some staking) and they did even better in my raised bed than the sunflowers. Cannot wait to plant more next season!

    All seeds Germinated Beautifully

    Wanted to plant Zinnia although it was late August when I sowed them. Now a month later the plants are a foot tall and several have flowered and the rest are getting ready to flower. Very happy as usual with Botanical Interests seeds!
