"This was my first time using this brand and I was happy with the performance. They started to grow pretty quickly and I’d say half of the seeds took. The blooms were right on time and were beautiful. The bees loved them and I didn’t notice many other bugs in the flower."
"I’ve grown vegetables from seeds before but never attempted flowers and the instructions for these were helpful for a first go. I was able to grow quite a few flowers though with the animals in my yard (bunnies, squirrels, etc. ) I do think there were less flowers than anticipated. I would definitely give these another go next spring!"
"These are gorgeous flowers. The blossom variety is amazing! The quality of the seeds is amazing. They quickly germinate. They come with easy instructions. I would recommend this brand!"
"My package was damaged in transit and when I finally reached out about delivery taking so long they said it showed delivered. I found it stuck in between my mailbox and the siding. I’m still waiting for them to grow in and bloom after planting the seeds 6-8inches in the ground. So excited to see how they brighten my yard."
"Arrived but haven't got to see them bloom yet."
"Packaged very well! They came really fast!"
"Great seeds. I usually always buy this brand but didn’t try the zinnias until now. They are beautiful and easy to care for. Nice packaging and good price too"
"We’ve purchased seeds from Ferry-Morse plenty of times throughout these past years and they always produce great results. There were about 20 or less seeds in the packet. These zinnia flower seeds were planted 4 weeks ago and you can see in the pictures that they are just about ready to bloom! We trust this company because we haven’t experienced any duds. Hopefully this can help you start your own beautiful garden with Ferry-Morse seeds!"
"I’m really hoping mine look like this in the pic …I planted them the same day I received them and they are just starting to grow, I can see a green stem starting. These are a beautiful flower."
"Plenty of seeds to make your own flower bed. These took off well and sprouted quickly. Unfortunately the extreme heat we had did them in. The 1 I did get to bloom was very pretty."
