- Janice Z.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/1/25Mazurkia's mixture of hot pinks, pinks and whites, have been very successful.
Germination seemed a little slow at first. I pinched back, and have had a marvelous spread. I succession planted, so little ones are on the way, while I cut to share with my church and friends, and enliven my mantle.
They do seem to be cut and come again. One massive pink showed up….I think a California giant by the looks of it.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that the Mazurkia Zinnia Seeds gave you such a marvelous spread with those beautiful hot pinks, pinks and whites - what a gorgeous color palette! It's fantastic that you had the patience to work through that slower germination and that your pinching back technique paid off so well. We love that you're succession planting to keep the blooms coming! The cut and come again nature of these zinnias really does make them such a joy to grow! Keep on growing 🌻️

These did so well for me. Zone 7b, got them in the ground late but they were the first to bloom! Highly recommend.

Beautiful and prolific zinnias! They bloomed nicely in a large pot from mid-summer all the way through fall in San Diego County. Picture features zinnias still going strong in November. A cheerful blend of colors that attracted bees and butterflies.

Beautiful and graceful! They have fabulous flowers nearly like perfect round balls when fully developed and love dahlias as companions. Adorable and so quick to germinate.
