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.

Can't wait to see these grow. And because of the great packaging I'll be able to save some for next year and even the year after that! Thanks

Lilliput zinnia seeds
Beautiful packaging in resealable packs. The delivery was quick and shipping cost reasonable.
Lovin it
The seedlings are coming up. Just need to keep the dogs out for a walk out of the bed. An extra bonus is that it will aggravate our neighbor as she likes French very oriented beds. Yehaw! Love the packaging! Very happy with all the products we have purchased from you.
Flowers
Love them already popping up in the garden, short variety great for lining garden bed
Plants Are Flowering
These plants are growing and flowering but their heads are much smaller than those above. They took a very short time to germinate which I like about zinnias. I wish there would have been more seeds. I needed to get more from our library because there were so few in the packet.
