    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Envy

    Easy to germinate, large fluffy blooms, excellent for filler AND focal flower for bouquets! All zinnia seeds I purchased from Eden Bros were easy to germinate! Isabellina zinnias are my second favorite.

    These are another one of my favorites this year. They made such gorgeous, "uniform" blooms. Each plant has 7 or 8 blooms (or more) at a time. They really did amazing in spite of the crazy storms we had for a few weeks too.

    Very strong plants and lots of variety, double, single & semi double. The color is very green just like the pictures.

    I wouldn’t buy the Envy from Eden again. None of this variety germinated in a place where all other varieties are thriving — 8b Mississippi. I planted 4,000. My other purchases (gomphrena, cosmos, other varieties of zinnia) from Eden are doing great though.

    Store owner replied: Hello Paige. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that these zinnias did not germinate, especially when your gomphrena, cosmos, and other zinnia varieties from us have done so well. We understand how disappointing that must have been. Envy zinnias generally germinate under the same conditions as other zinnias, preferring warm soil, full sun, and consistent moisture during germination. Factors such as planting depth, heavy rainfall, allowing the seedbed to dry out, or poor seed-to-soil contact can reduce germination, but we appreciate that your success with the other varieties suggests your growing conditions were favorable. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and hope the rest of your garden continues to thrive this season!

    I absolutely loved growing Envy Zinnias last season! 💚 I bought them again this year! The unique green blooms added such a fresh, unexpected touch to my bouquets—they really stand out compared to typical flower colors. They were incredibly easy to grow, too. Germination was quick and reliable, and honestly, they thrived with very little attention after seeding.

    Great germination and plant grew well with a decent amount of blooms which are still coming here in zone 9b, but the color was disappointing. Kind of a dirty whitish color and single row of petals. Nothing like the gorgeous picture.

    I purchased these zinnias and another variety because I was interested in heirloom varieties. I grew them in zone 9 per the planting instructions and none of them grew. Maybe one germinated before dying off. I’m very disappointed. I’ve grown zinnias before with much success with seeds from Home Depot. They don’t have heirloom varieties, but that might be what I try instead. I was so excited by this beautiful color.

    Always had beautiful blooms & colors, but not with Envy. Was expecting chartreuse and got a very washed out pale yellow! So disappointed and the blooms were very skimpy.

    Lovely zinnias that sprung up so quickly! The first bloom showed up within 45 days. I direct sowed outside and almost all seeds made it to maturity. The flowers are less green than I expected. The ones which bloomed so far have been white on the top sides of the petals and green on the undersides. But that does not reduce my enjoyment of them at all! They are very nice flowers.

    This is my first try at starting seedlings. I recommend starting these directly in the ground. The ones I started in my garden did so much better than those in pods. The ones that bloomed are just as pictured. Full green and lush. I have some other zinnias from another company and they don't look anything like the picture. My only complaint is that I didn't start these earlier. Now I know and will only buy my zinnia seeds from Eden Brothers.
