- archana g.Rated 4 out of 5 stars8/29/26Very pretty, fast to bloom but more pink than salmon colored
Pinkish, cactusy petals but maybe there is a touch of orange in there but one was like the pic others were more pink.

- Courtney D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/23/26Such a Unique Flower!
These had great germination and highly productive cut and come again. First time seeing this variety of the stringy wild zinnias haha. Took me by surprise but super fun flowers. Most of mine had large blooms bigger than a softball.

- Katherine H.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6/10/26Zinnias
Such a unique look for a zinnia! I love the color and shape, but it ended up quite different from the poofy Pom Pom look on the seed packet. Based on other reviews this seems to a fairly common issue with this cultivar.
BIBotanical Interests6/10/26Hey Katherine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Senora Zinnia Seeds and for that wonderful 5-star rating!
It's fantastic to hear that you love the unique color and shape - these zinnias really do have such a distinctive character compared to other varieties! You're absolutely right that the Senora cultivar can sometimes express itself a bit differently than the classic pom-pom style, and we really appreciate you mentioning that based on what you've seen in other reviews too.
Even though they didn't match the exact look you were expecting, it sounds like you discovered something beautiful and unique in your garden! Sometimes those happy surprises end up being our favorite discoveries.
Thank you for being so understanding and for sharing such thoughtful feedback that will help fellow gardeners know what to expect. Keep on growing 🌻️
