    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Meteor

    These zinnias grew extremely fast! The germination rate was exceptional and I really liked the color! They didn't grow as tall as I expected them too though. Also, they got infected with a bacterial disease which spread rapidly and killed most of them, but that was my fault! Overall a solid flower! I love zinnias!

    I ordered 8 packets of zinnias this year and each packet only had 15 seeds per packet. That’s a far cry from the advertised “79 seeds per packet” in the description. Several dahlia bulbs were also non-viable straight from the box, dried up and dead with no eyes. I’ve ordered several years from Eden Brothers and this has been the most disappointing yet.

    Store owner replied: Hello, Victoria Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention as feedback like yours helps us deliver the best quality products possible. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. If you have any other issues, feel free to reach out!

    I’m new to Eden Brothers products, but could not be more pleased with these Meteor Zinnias. Minimal soil prepare, broadcast seeding over the planting area, water and off they went! The flowers are exactly as pictured and the established plants need no other care than an occasional watering during periods of a week+ without rain. These seeds were a little more expensive than the home garden store brands, but they are unique a spectacular color and seem to germinate at a higher rate. This is a good company and sells good products.
