"Timing was very off for the specific product testing, since these are not supposed to be out in cold NS have lack of sun. But I'm in Tn, sooooo'. . I got my first ever flower sprouting (aka it didn't die!) and it's one of my zinnias! Some of the cosmos are next and then these will likely alll go where the old bushes are that we have here."
"The seats that I planted are not yet bloomed, but I'm very excited for them to be. Beautiful colors and a good amount of seedlings in the packaging."
"these seeds were very easy to plant. I love that the packaging included when to plant and how long they should take to plant. I can't wait to see what they look like when they blossom."
"I'm surprised at how quickly the zinnia seeds sprouted! They were direct sown in full sun and sprouted in about a week. Hopefully, there will be early blooms for the arrival of hummingbirds next month."
"Every seed emerged"
"These Zinnia seeds are no joke! They started growing immediately and I’ve loved watching the whole process. I added them to our landscaping in our backyard and they’re a great addition, and I can’t wait for them to bloom! Super easy to grow, just needed to be watered daily."
"The Zinnia’s were very beautiful and I would not hesitate to buy them. The only thing I would hesitate to do again is plant them where my pups and bunnies have easy access to them. They made quick work of the beautiful blooms."
"As soon as I planted these seeds, my flowers began to grow immediately! The photo was taken just two weeks after planting. I cannot wait to see my Zinnias but based on the progress so far, I have no doubt they will be beautiful! These are honestly the best seeds I have ever tried."
"So excited to watch these zinnias grow in my hand painted pot I received for Mother’s Day. Ferry-Morse is a reputable seed brand offering only the finest with no extra unwanted fillers."
"I love zinnias so I was excited to get these in. Shipped very quickly and they were packaged very well. After a few weeks I can see they have started to sprout!"
