These seeds are collected from our own field-grown pastel zinnias, originally planted from specialty breeding lines but now open-pollinated here on the farm. The result? A dreamy mix that leans blush, honey, and muted pastels, with the occasional unexpected shade. Each plant is unique, and that’s part of the beauty. Easy to grow, endlessly cheerful in the garden, and perfect for cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"352\" data-end=\"661\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eZinnias thrive in the warmth of late spring and summer. Sow directly into prepared garden beds after the last frost, or start in trays and transplant once seedlings are sturdy and the soil has warmed. Space plants 25–30 cm apart for long, straight stems, and pinch out the tips when seedlings reach 20–25 cm tall to encourage strong branching. Zinnias prefer full sun, regular watering, and good airflow. Harvest blooms when the first petals begin to open and the stem feels firm — this “wiggle test” ensures the longest vase life.
