    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Salmon Queen

    This was my first year planting zinnias and I chose a variety of colors and this one stands out! It started off more red than expected but as the bloom developed it turned more salmon. Love it!

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Salmon Queen

    This was my first time growing zinnias, I was really excited to have big beautiful pink blooms! Not a single one was pink unfortunately. They turned out Red and Orange. Still beautiful but not what I was expecting.

    This seed is not stable. Blooms are true red, not pink. This is so disappointing. This is the 3rd issue I have had with unstable seed/colors not as advertised with Eden Brothers this year. In a small garden, that's a big loss. I see others have had the exact same issue, yet this product continues to remain for sale. What am I missing?? Will be taking my business elsewhere next year.

    I purchased these seeds because of the color listing being pink, and the photos showing a salmon color. I didn’t need an exact color match, but wanted something in that pink/salmon ballpark for an outdoor wedding. These seeds haven’t been either. They are a bright orange. They are pretty and growing great but because orange isn’t the color of the wedding, I now have a bunch of flowers I can’t use.

    I planted several varieties of zinnia from Eden Farms this spring. By far, this one grew the best. I had blooms in 5 weeks and each section of this seed is full and lush. My only complaint is that the color is no where near what you see here. It's not salmon or pink in any way. Instead, I have bright orange blooms. Florida Gator orange. I personally don't have a lot of orange throughout my garden, so it doesn't have the look I was trying to achieve, so I am disappointed, but they are still pretty.
