    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds (Dwarf) - Pepito Mix

    Love the bright pops of color but the rust overtakes and overwhelmed the leaves faster than any other zinnia. Fun while they lasted! Pictures show before rust kicked in.

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds (Dwarf) - Pepito Mix

    I have grown Pepito Zinnias for five years now and they are always reliably stunning! They are not exactly a "dwarf" as described, but are shorter than some other zinnia varieties and simply gorgeous! They are easy to grow, and once established, they do well even in the Oklahoma heat and wind. They bloom from June-Oct in our Zone 7. If you want bees, butterflies, and a profusion of color, I highly recommend!

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds (Dwarf) - Pepito Mix

    I have loved growing these. they are colorful and gorgeous. growing so strong. i did buy them because they were supposed to be “dwarf”, about 10”-12” but a lot of mine are reaching 20”+! i won’t complain because they are really flourishing, but anyone who wants a shorter zinnia be aware they can get very tall. i’m in zone 8b and water a few times a week, started as seedlings. happy with the extremely good germination rate.

    The seeds were beautiful and the flowers have been great (except we've had too much rain) and I think that has had a negative affect on them. The biggest surprise I got was how tall some of them have grown. Passing planes almost hit them! If you want colorful flowers these are just what you want!

    18-24 inch maximum, large blooms but established beds were nearly 50% white, and 30% orange. a few yellow and a few red. color range was very narrow.

    These zinnias are the perfect size, and the colors are so eye-catching. We've attracted a lot of beautiful butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds this summer, only because we had a patch of these grow from last year's seeds! I wasn't even planning on planting anything. The only care I've given them is a spray of neem oil occasionally.

    These seeds produced the best zinnias. Great for patio containers. So colorful too. Absolutely beautiful.
