Warm Pastel Zinnia seeds

Warm Pastel Zinnias (elegans)

This is a beautiful mix of pastels, which are a little warmer than the Ballerina mix with more soft peachy, amber, and creamy yellows, as well as some blush tones. Mostly full and fluffy, these will be beautiful in bouquets as well as in the garden.

Zinnias are an amazing flower, so easy, yet so rewarding! Once started, they require little care, except watering a bit during really bad drought (dense planting and mulch go a long way to mitigate this). The only other thing you could do to help them thrive is to cut for bouquets on a regular basis, as these are true “cut and come again” plants.
Watching the flowers in my garden, the zinnias were always the most popular with butterflies and hummingbirds, and they performed well through the drought! I highly recommend for all gardens!

I am planning on trying my hand at creating some new colours from this one, so check back next year for some surprises😊
