Collection: 💐 Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) Seed

Zinnias are vibrant, sun-loving annuals prized for their long-lasting, brightly colored blooms and ease of growth. Available in a wide variety of types — from the classic single flowers to the dahlia-like doubles of the Benary’s Giant Series — zinnias add colour and texture to garden beds, borders, and cut flower arrangements. They are heat and drought tolerant, making them perfect for summer gardens and professional flower production.

Zinnias attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees, making them a beautiful and environmentally friendly addition to any garden or farm. Their sturdy stems and long vase life also make them a top choice for florists and cut flower growers
