Zinnia, Cupcake Pastel Shades

We are sharing these beauties as part of a fundraiser to help equip us to continue to grow and cutivate these amazing flowers to share with you all! We also will be returning a portion of the proceeds to Miss Madalines Dahlias who has graciously allowed us to sell these as part of our sale & is the breeder of the seed parent of these zinnias. Also 10% will be going to help an orphanage that we support in Uganda Africa. For these reasons & others, we have priced these seeds this way.

We have kept these isolated and culled out any unwanted plants but there still will most likely be the stray plants that you might want to cull out or possibly ones that are even better than these! If isolated & unwanted ones are culled out, you too can save these seeds to grow out year after year!

This stunning mix is a blend of soft pink, blush & rose. They are mostly all doubles with lots of petals like a cupcake! Definitely a welcome addition to any garden!

Zinnias are most definitely a flower workhorse and if you do not as yet grow these you will definitely want to! If you do grow zinnias already then I need not tell you anymore how wonderful they are!

Seeds per packet: a MINIMUM of 25 (I like to be generous though :)

You can direct sow these into the ground if you'd prefer but I find the best way is to start these indoors about 2in under grow lights, 4 weeks before your last frost. Be sure to acclimate them slowly to the outdoors at least 1 week before planting outside. This way you get ahaed on the season and better germination results!
