These bright, lilac-colored beauties live up to their name and are certainly fit for a princess. Zinderella Lilac Zinnias have a distinct dome shape and variable petal arrangements with a cream halo around a center eye. When nighttime and daytime temperatures are closer together, blooms produce a single layer of petals. When a larger difference in temps is present, multi-layered petals appear! This cut-and-come-again variety will last until frost when dead-headed or cut back regularly, attracting pollinators to the garden all through the season.

  • • Tall-growing annual with bright, large, multi-colored blooms

  • • Thrives in bright, sunny growing areas

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Zinderella Lilac

    Of all the varieties I planted, these have the smallest flowers. They start out a nice color but bleach to white within a day. I will admit they look like a lot of the flowers in the background of the overall picture - just nothing like the flower in the close-up

    I order the zinderella because of the different look but while they are a beautiful lilac color, they are just regular zinnias.

    These had a high germination rate for me but none of them puffed in the middle. Still a pollinator favorite!

    Ordered these along with multiple other seed packets on 3/4, over 20 days ago. Eden Brothers took over a week to ship the seeds and when they did ship the seeds, they sent an incorrect shipping number so that it wasn't able to be tracked. I followed up multiple times and the only response was to wait and check back after another week. Followed up again after waiting for the period they requested and still no sign of my order.

    I was excited to get the Zinderellas because they were different. A zinnia with a big puff in the middle. I got 12 plants to grow but they are just regular zinnias. Very disappointed.
