- 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.

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.
