Zinnia- 'Garden Mix'
Zinnia elegans
Open Pollinated
 
The world of Zinnia breeding has drawn much attention in the last few years and rapidly expanding. The new cultivars discovered every year is from intentional breeding between specific plants for desirable traits. Petal count, open center vs double blooms, stem length and strength, head position, and even stem color.
 
These seeds represent something entirely new and different. Every seed has the potential for color and form uniqueness. But open pollinated seeds collected will have traits from the mother plant and blended with whatever nearby pollen was picked up from the bees and other pollinators. Some factors are more dominate and why breeding can become a whole new fascinating world to explore. In both Dahlia and Zinnia single flowers are more dominate and why you see more of them in open pollinated. If your looking for more doubles then hand pollinating between double flowers will increase your chances.
 
In the meantime these open pollinated seeds have been gathered and sorted for the ripest potential to add to your collection.
