    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Meteor Shower Mix

    I was just about to write a review about the wrong color of these when I saw all the other reviews about people complaining that these are red! UGH. Eden Brothers why have you not changed the description?!? Seriously. That said, they are good growers if you want rusty orange red zinnias. They match absolutely nothing in my garden, but they make an ugly color good cut flower to bring inside. Probably going to have to pull them they are so wrong. I want my patience, time and money back!!

    Store owner replied: Hello Krongarden. Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that your zinnias did not produce the colors you were expecting. We understand how disappointing it is to carefully plan your garden around a specific color palette and have the blooms turn out differently. We are glad we were able to connect with you and provide a resolution. We also want to thank you for bringing this to our attention. We had previously identified and believed this issue had been resolved, so your report is the first indication we've received that it may still be occurring. We're actively looking into this with our supplier to determine whether there's an issue with the current seed lot. Sometimes only a portion of a seed packet is planted, which can make it difficult to know whether the full color mix is represented, but we want to ensure every customer receives the beautiful blend they expected. Thank you again for your feedback. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and appreciate customers like you who help us continue to improve!

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Meteor Shower Mix

    Wish I would’ve read the reviews. Mine too are all red, and not the most full/showy style either. Very simple, basic red zinnias with single rows of petals, not like photos. Attached photo shows the zinnia on the top right. The bottom left flowers are labyrinth dahlias. I planted these zinnias in several places and they’re all red and look exactly like the picture.

    Hi I am ordering this lovely add to next year's Plan. So... I like to feed the plants to encourage bloom. Would you be so kind as to suggest timing and type of supplements. Thanks!

    Also got mostly red blooms… no purples… and some pinks. I really wanted pinks and purples, which is why I ordered this mix. The flowers are nice and tall and robust.

    Germination rate and mildew resistance was good. The flower isn't exactly as I expected but it's hard to be disappointed because they're still beautiful. I had photos but kept getting a error message when trying to add them.

    These were easy to grow but every one was red, no pinks/purples so a little disappointed.
