- Rc.southforkfarmVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/29/25They were beautiful!
I grew these (and most other BI zinnias) last year. They’re so easy. Follow the directions and wait until your soil is warm. I literally mixed all my zinnia seeds in a bowl then scattered on a prepped bed. The pic is the last batch I had before frost, along with BI cosmos!

- Christine G.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars9/30/25fairly good germination
I did hope for more seeds to germinate from this package. The seeds that germinated grew beautifully.
Which best describes you as a gardener? ExpertBIBotanical Interests10/1/25Hey Christine,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Lilliput Zinnia seeds! We're really glad to hear that the seeds that did germinate grew beautifully! We totally understand that it can be disappointing when you don't get the germination rate you were hoping for from a seed packet. Sometimes germination can be affected by various factors like soil temperature, moisture levels, or even seed age, and we appreciate you taking the time to give us your honest feedback about it. It's great that the ones that did sprout are thriving though - those successful plants should give you some gorgeous blooms to enjoy! We're grateful for your 4-star review and for choosing us for your zinnia growing adventure. Keep on growing 🌻️

Snap dragons are growing beautifully. I can’t wait to see the colors I put them in the freezer for two days and then put them on top of a soil tray filled with starting soil. I think every seed germinated. I transplanted about a hundred and still had more I could have transplanted but ran out of room

While I’m pleased with the seedings so far, it is a little early to say. So far they have done well. I’m looking forward to having some beautiful zinnias this year. I do so love how they color my garden!
