    Strong growers and so pretty! This was my first time growing zinnias and I will be growing even more next year. Can’t wait

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Cactus Pink Shades

    I only got a few of these to germinate (not 100% sure why - too deep/cold/etc?) but the ones that survived made centerpiece blooms. I ordered a ton of seeds for my friends wedding this year and they were showstoppers. Super easy to grow and the ones that did germinate were consistent and stunning.

    I had really back luck across the board w zinnias from Eden. Historically they’ve always been very easy to grow. I wondered if maybe birds at the seeds but I also planted zinnia seeds that were a year older and bought from another company and they came in just fine

    Store owner replied: Hello Erin. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we are sorry that these specialty zibnnias did not do well for you this season. They can require a little extra attention to growing conditions. Factors such as soil temperature, consistent moisture, and proper planting depth can all play an important role in successful germination. We are glad we were able to find a resolution you were happy with and can try again. We always stand by our products and want our customers to get what we both expect from the seeds. We appreciate you letting us know and for allowing us to make it right with you!

    I was so excited about these and none germinated.. so disappointed with the seeds I've received from this company

    Zinnia Seeds - Cactus Pink Shades

    Store owner replied: Hello Vero. Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that none of these seeds germinated and understand how disappointing that can be, especially when you were excited to grow this specialty variety. While many zinnias are known for being easy to grow, some specialty varieties can be more sensitive to germination conditions, including soil temperature, moisture levels, and planting depth. Because you've experienced similar challenges with several different seed varieties, we still recommend considering a soil test if you haven't already done so, as underlying soil conditions can sometimes affect germination across multiple plant types. We are glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution. We appreciate your feedback, your patience, and the opportunity to assist you!

    My partner and I have been gardening and growing veggie's, fruits and flowers for over 5 years. We grow zinnias every year with great success. This year we decided to try what I would call “unique” zinnia variety’s from this company. We spent just under $100 for around 14 packets of “unique to me” variety’s. Sadly that was the worst choice to make. We planted all 14 packets with not a single production. I was heartbroken to have no zinnias this year and even more upset that expensive seeds did NOTHING!!!! Stick to your local seed selling shops and buy the basic zinnias that will have your garden full of colorful blooms and all the pollinators. I did read a few bad reviews before purchasing but decided to give them a go regardless, but I’m here to say do not waste your money or your time on any of these seeds.

    These are gorgeous and grew easily for me in zone 5 clay loam, transplanted mid June. Good germination under lights. I'll be back for more. Thank you!

    Zinnia Seeds - Cactus Pink Shades

    I really wanted these to grow. They barely germinated and did not grow over 4 inches. The cheap dollar store packet of zinnia seeds that I ordered all grew within days, but these did not.
