    Mexican Zinnia Seeds - Persian Carpet

    Store owner replied: Hello Roy E. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that these didn't perform as well as you had hoped this season. Persian Carpet zinnias thrive in full sun and warm weather and are generally quite heat and drought tolerant once established. They grow best in well-drained soil and benefit from consistent moisture while young, though overly wet conditions can affect their vigor. Deadheading spent blooms and providing good air circulation can also encourage healthier plants and continued flowering throughout the season. We previously reached out to assist you, but haven't heard back. We'd still love the opportunity to help. Please reply to our original email or contact our Customer Care team, and we'd be happy to set you up with a resolution you are happy with. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and are committed to helping our gardeners succeed. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to assist you!

    I purchased these seeds about 4 months ago stored them per instructions. I sowed them 3 weeks ago, they are healthy little seedlings. They germinated within 72 hours. Impressed by their growth, Will update later, hopefully with beautiful flowers. I would purchase again.
