    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Miss Willmott

    Disappointed in these zinnia seeds. They were supposed to be pink, but came out more red. These don’t go at all with the colors in my garden, so I will be ripping them all out. Waste of time and money.

    I was super bummed to look forward to the light pink color promised in these blooms because, every flower was purple when they grew. Definitely not was I expected when I purchased these seeds.

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Miss Willmott

    I intermixed Miss Willmott and Luminosa Zinnias since both were presumed to be a soft pink. I am in zone 8b. These germinated beautifully with direct ground sowing and provided a huge amount of flowers for all my pollinators. It has been so much fun watching them enjoy the flowers. I have even enjoyed watching the green lynx spiders staking claims to a flower and hanging on for dear life when the wind blows. Although the flowers are absolutely beautiful, I have only had 5-6 actual soft pink blooms. They range from cream, hot pink, purple, orange, red and speckled. I am not giving 5 stars since they were not the color they were supposed to be. Overall I am satisfied because of their germination rate and plentiful blooms. Blooms range between 2-3.5 inches wide. I have posted photos of them on my Instagram at seeditsowitgrowit .

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Miss Willmott

    As with anything I plant I began with fertile ground. My experience with Eden’s Miss Willmott’s has met and exceeded what I expected based on the description. I have been harvesting these zinnias continuously since June and they are still producing as of 10/10. I planted these two different ways in two separate beds. For instance I germinated and transplanted and sowed. Insofar as the bed locations I picked a full 180° southern exposure and a NNE exposure and the results were exceptional. Beginning in July I started a monthly fertilizing regime with a product that provided 3x more phosphorus than nitrogen which I also apply to my dahlia plantings and the result was fantastic. I was able to harvest at least 2 to 3 times per week with plenty of flowers left on the plants for all the pollinators present.

    I live in zone 5b and I’m happy that these germinated fast, grew tall and are healthy but they are not the pink color that is shown in pictures. I only like to plant pastel flowers in my gardens so this is not what I thought it should be. But thankfully the good outweigh the bad, but I won’t be buying Ms.Wilmott seeds again.

    While these are nice big zinnias, the description is deceptive. The flowers are pink... no variation to lavendar or purple.
