We regularly test seed quality and germination as lots move through storage and packing. We stand behind the seed we send and want customers to contact us when a packet does not perform as reasonably expected.

1-year seed warrantyCoverage begins on the date of purchase.

When properly stored, planted, and cared for, we guarantee reasonable germination and true-to-type growth for one year from the date of purchase. Conditions outside our control—including extreme weather, pests, unsuitable storage, and gardener error—are excluded. Contact us when something is not right so we can review the situation and work toward a replacement, refund, or another fair resolution.

Every seed variety we sell is non-GMO.

USDA’s National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard defines bioengineered foods as containing detectable genetic material modified through in vitro recombinant DNA methods in ways not achievable through conventional breeding or found in nature.

  • Hybrid means parent lines were conventionally crossed; hybrid does not mean GMO.
  • Heirloom and open-pollinated describe how a variety is maintained and reproduced.
  • Organic certification is separate and is shown only when verified for the individual product.

What to expect from Mystery Zinnia Seeds

An unidentified zinnia variety with flower color, form and height left as a garden surprise.

Open the complete descriptionHide the complete descriptionVariety traits, flavor, garden use, and the complete description

These zinnia seeds lost their variety label during handling. Mystery Zinnia offers an unknown cultivar for gardeners who enjoy discovering what blooms. Flower color, form, mature height and bloom timing cannot be promised, and the packet is not a guaranteed color mix.

Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil after frost danger has passed. Direct sow 1/4 inch deep, or start indoors about four weeks before transplanting. Keep the mix moist during germination and handle young roots gently. Allow roughly 9–12 inches between plants, increasing space if the plants prove especially vigorous. Warm conditions encourage germination; cooler soil delays emergence. Remove spent flowers for continued flowering and water the soil rather than the leaves when possible.

Minimum seed count: 85.
