Zinnia Seeds - California Giants Mix - Large 1 Ounce Packet - 3,000 Flower Seeds - Mixed Colors and Large Blooms

I planted these seeds in zone 6b about May 1st 2026 and a couple of months later, what the birds didn't eat, grew into beautiful Zeina blossoms. The plants vary in size from 3 ft to 5 ft tall. There are many different colored blossoms. The instructions are easy to follow and the package was in good condition. I didn't count each seed, but I'm pretty sure the seed count was accurate. The 1/4 pound bag of seeds was more than enough for my flower bed. I'll plant more next year to cover the place the birds made off with those seeds. I feel I got my money's worth with these seeds. I will buy from this seller again. They have a great product at a fair price.

Exceeded my expectations - grew beautifully, excellent item and worth the cost.

Exactly what I expected!

I’m very happy with these zinnia seeds! The germination rate was excellent, and most of the seeds sprouted within a week. The plants grew quickly, stayed healthy, and are now producing beautiful, vibrant flowers in a variety of colors. They’ve also attracted lots of butterflies and bees to my garden. The seeds were easy to plant, and the flowers have continued blooming with regular deadheading. I would definitely purchase these again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for easy-to-grow, colorful flowers.

Gardening has become one of my favorite hobbies in retirement, and these California Giants Zinnia seeds have been a highlight of my flower beds. The packet is generous – about 1 ounce of seeds which they say is around 3,000 seeds. It certainly looked like a lot when I opened it! I decided to sow them in two batches: one in late spring of last year and another this spring (I stored the remainder in a cool, dry place). The seeds are small and easy to scatter. I prepared a sunny patch of soil, raked it loose, and sprinkled the seeds fairly liberally since I knew I had plenty. Within about a week, I saw tiny green sprouts popping up, which is always a thrill. The germination rate impressed me – I’d estimate well over 80% of where I scattered turned into seedlings. I did have to thin them out a bit to give each plant room to grow, but that’s a good “problem” of having high germination. By mid-summer, I was rewarded with an explosion of color. These zinnias truly live up to the “Giants” name – many blooms were as large as my palm, in vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. They stood tall, some reaching 3 to 4 feet. My granddaughter loved to walk through “Grandpa’s flower jungle” pointing out her favorite colors. The bees and butterflies loved them too; our garden was constantly buzzing with visitors, which is wonderful for pollination. I even cut bunches of these zinnias to make impromptu bouquets for the dining table and to give to neighbors. They last quite well as cut flowers, often a week or more in a vase if you change the water. It felt great to have such an abundance of blooms that I could share freely. These zinnias were also low maintenance. I watered regularly when they were seedlings, but once established, they handled the summer heat and occasional dry spells like champs. I did notice that a few plants got powdery mildew on leaves late in the season (a common zinnia issue when nights turn cool and damp), but it didn’t stop them from flowering profusely. Removing a few mildewy leaves was all that was needed. If you’re planting all the seeds at once, be ready for a lot of zinnias – they can crowd each other. I ended up transplanting some seedlings to other parts of the yard because I over-enthusiastically scattered in one area. In hindsight, spacing the seeds out more would have saved me that step. But honestly, it was a joy to have that “problem.” This packet of seeds is a fantastic value. For the price of one nursery plant, I got dozens upon dozens of zinnia plants that kept my garden lively and colorful until the first frost. I’ll definitely be buying these again when I (eventually) run out, though with so many seeds, I might be set for another year or two. Highly recommended for both novice and experienced gardeners – you just can’t beat the cheerful display these zinnias provide.
