Joy Max Giant Zinnia Mix

$3.50

Zinnias are the MVPs of the summer garden. This seed mix includes six big, beautiful colors. So easy to grow you will be a fan for life. If you live in a scorching summer like Texas, planting them in some afternoon shade will help them through the hottest days.

JOY MAX QUALITIES:

  • THE must-grow summer flower. If you’ve never grown flowers from seed before, this is the gateway drug. Zinnias are so easy to grow, and while they do have a few challenges later in their growth cycle, you’ll be able to overcome them with just a little TLC.

  • This flower can take the heat although you will need to water it frequently in the summer if you want lush, healthy flowers through multiple 100℉ days.

  • Large 3-6” blooms in six bright & punchy varieties: Orange King, Cherry Queen, Violet Queen, Polar Bear, Canary Bird, and Pink Luminosa.

  • Open-Pollinated. When plants start to look spent, let the last flowers dry out and collect the seeds for next year.
