Product Description
A Definite Show Stopper!
These brilliant red Zinnia flowers will attract lots of attention with their splendid blooms!
Zinnia (Elegans Dahlia Flowered Meteor)
These Zinnias are grown easily from seeds. Meteor Zinnia is a deep red color, and it grows on bushy, tall plants. The long stems and large 4 - 5 inch blooms make Meteor Zinnia elegans perfect for cutting, as the more you cut, the more you get!
Zinnias are outstanding in beds, borders, and containers. They have a long bloom season, lasting until frost in the fall. Zinnia plants love sun and heat, and thus only require moderate amounts of water. They are not particular about the type of soil, but do prefer well-drained soil. Because their biggest enemy is mildew, Zinnia flower care includes irrigation with a soaker hose or keeping the water at the roots to minimize wetting the foliage. If this isn't possible, water them early in the day, so that the leaves can dry off before nightfall.

How to Grow
Directly sow your Zinnia once spring has begun and the soil is already warmed. Your Zinnia should flower 5 - 6 weeks after its been sowed.
It is also possible to plant your Zinnia while the weather is still chilly, if your area has a late coming warm spring. It will still grow just as well, but won't bloom until the weather is warm enough.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 4 seeds per plant.

Be patient and nurture them and you won’t be disappointed!
It took these guys over two months to grow, planted at the end of June, pretty late but ai thought I’d try since Houston heat lasts well past our “fall” until about November.But to be fair, Houston has had boughts of scorching heat and drought and recently days and days of rain. So their growing environment has probably stressed them out. I didn’t make any special raised beds either, they were sprinkled around the trees in the front yard. Just tilled the soil a bit to loosen up our hard soil and added peat moss and gardening soil to the existing soil and mixed it up. (Not a professional, just trying things and having fun seeing how it works out lol.)They get mostly full to partial sun, zone 9A. Nothing special, directly sowed into a little peat moss and garden soil around our trees. I did an experiment and sprinkled the seeds around and then sprinkled peat moss lightly over them for one tree, and the other tree I sprinkled the seeds around and lightly raked them. Interestingly the unraked seeds germinated much faster and more germinated. Then when the seedlings were about 5-6 inches tall I spread them out and gave the Vigoro fertilizer. Babied them with water while they were small.They have been pummeled and seemingly knocked over by heavy rain, but with a little temporary staking using some bamboo bbq skewers, they got right back up. The ones that stayed knocked down most re rooted up the stem, we’ll see how those do, they have not budded yet.I’m pleased that after 2.5 months-ish I’m rewarded with these this week! So if they’re slow, be patient!!I’ll update with more pictures as they continue to grow and the other buds bloom! This has been quite educational for me and a joy. I am super pleased and highly recommend these zinnia seeds!Update 9/22/22The next set of zinnias have many more rows of petals and vibrant, but they’re still smaller 1-1.5 inch diameter—as you can compare the first two pictures when I posted the review with the last two today.I have not trimmed them yet, but will update again after trimming and the blooms that come after.Again, I am attributing the size to less than ideal conditions this season, but if this is how they appear with abuse, I am eager to resow in the spring to see their potential! Still highly recommend!Update 5/11/23These have reseeded into the same beds, grew in the spring, and now I’m getting some bicolored zinnias along with solid! Very interesting! Still not very big, maybe nickel to quarter to half dollar sized blooms, but still pretty colored and attracting bees and butterflies! This is the first set of blooms, will see how they develop through the season!

What a disappointment! Don't think this vendor is trustworthy regarding truth in advertising.
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2022
What a disappointment! I've been growing zinnias for years and these are pathetic at best! See the evidence in the photos I've posted for yourself. BUYER BEWARE! In the future I will be buying from another vendor, and avoid this company's products like the plague! I have rarely written reviews, but others need to know what a letdown these seeds are. After nurturing these seeds and seedlings to larger plants and investing precious time into their care and gardening process, I now have leggy zinnias with TINY blooms on their stems. What you get with these seeds is a whole lot of green foliage with miniscule flowers. Fun fact Outside Pride: Gardeners buy flower seeds to get beautiful blooms, not to just introduce more green to their gardens! For years I've bought Ferry-Morse and Burpee seeds. Both companies' zinnia seeds have produced successful harvests with an abundance of colorful blooms. It was a leap of faith for me to purchase from this company online as I had not in the past. But purchase I did believing their photos were true. So called "Outside Pride" zinnias are NOT much to be proud of!!! More appropriate name for this company- "Outside Letdown"! By the way, regarding the easy-to-grow rating, I did give these a 4/5. Why? All zinnias are easy to grow! It's not brain surgery. From my experience, their brand certainly is tainted. I will avoid buying from this company in the future.

These were very easy to grow and I had a great amount of germination. I was pretty happy with these… until they started blooming. I was so looking forward to seeing the mix of cream, white, and yellow, and they fit perfectly in to my gardens color scheme. We only have purple/blue, white/cream, and yellow/lime colors and these seemed like a perfect fit. Unfortunately there’s a bunch of red blooms opening. There’s been two white flowers and the rest red so far. It’s a bit of a bummer. I don’t want to pull them out and have a big hole in my garden, plus I have huge bunches of these zinnias in 5 areas of the garden, so many big holes would be left. I think if you’re just looking for mix of colors and don’t care what you get, then these would be great. For anyone specifically looking for only the colors advertised, maybe look elsewhere.
