HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in spring; this seed germinates best in warm soil. Plant just below the surface and keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-10 days. Seedlings do not transplant well.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, but do not over water. Though they flourish with occasional watering in dry weather, mature plants tolerate some drought. This plant grows best in rich soil, and may need light fertilization for best blooming. Pinch off the growing stems to encourage bushiness, and deadhead to prolong blooming. This plant attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After their petals drop off, the centers of the flowers will darken and develop tight clusters of seed at the base. As soon as the seed heads have turned dark brown, remove them and spread them out to dry for several days. Thresh the dried heads to separate the small, arrow-shaped seeds from the chaff. Store the cleaned seed in a cool, dry place.

Zinnia seeds
Beautiful packaging with easy to follow directions. shipping at a reasonable price.
Great Seeds! Great Price!
Every year I buy my seeds from Everwilde farms. The flowers are spectacular! Neighbors stop to view these beautiful flowers! I buy in bulk & share extra seeds with friends.
Came up quick!
Planting zinnias for the fall this year. Put the seeds out on Tuesday and they come up on Thursday. Looks like every seed germinated!
Dahlia
Sowed seeds this spring and had great germination rate. Flowers are now here. However, they are not dahlia in looks. Instead they only have a single layer of petals. Still pretty but not as advertsied and not what I was looking for when I plant my zinnias each year. I will be going back to the place I previously purchased from - a little more expensive but the seeds are "true" and thus, superior.
Beautiful
I sowed this mix last year and absolutely loved the flowers. I had butterflies, bees, and humming birds. My neighbors loved the color and it was nice having cut fresh flowers. It was so easy. I just tilled my spot, sowed the seed, lightly covered the seed area with miracle grow garden soil, watered, and said a pray.
