Zinnia Cresto! Peachy Pink is another member of the Cresto! Series of abundant double to semi-double blooms in glowing peach and pink tones that soften in color as they mature. The fluffy, crested, pompom-like flowers feature a slightly frilled center that butterflies can’t resist and look especially striking when paired with other summer standouts like dahlias. Tall, upright plants produce sturdy stems on upright, branching plants, making this variety perfect for cutting gardens and summer bouquets.

  • • Strong stems on upright, well-branching plants—ideal for cutting
  • • Blooms from peak summer through frost; excellent 7 to 10 day vase life and edible petals for garnish
  • • Seeds may produce single, double, semi-double, and crested zinnias depending on field conditions

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Cresto! Peachy Pink

    This packet did not include any tufted zinnias. They are all very small, ununiform, pale pink single bloom zinnias. Underwhelming.

    Store owner replied: Hello Deb Elle. Thank you for sharing your results with us. We’re sorry these zinnias didn't develop the distinctive flower form you were expecting. This variety is grown for its crested or “tufted” centers, although some natural variation in flower form can occur from seed. Growing conditions such as heat and other environmental stresses can affect bloom size and color somewhat. We appreciate the photo and detailed feedback, which are especially helpful when evaluating varietal concerns like this, and we’ve included this variety in the resolution set up for you. We hope your next zinnia planting delivers the fun, distinctive blooms you were originally looking forward to!
