- Lacy T.OK, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/19/26Beautiful zinnias
Gorgeous huge flowers. Still popping and it’s August & 103 degrees here in southeastern Oklahoma 7b. The yellow ones are my favorite this year.

- CaseyVerified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars7/5/26Sadly, these seeds are not the correct blend. :-(
I grew the fireball blend last summer and immediately fell in love with it!! Huge flowers, intense reds and oranges (my favorite)! Just amazing! After last season I carved out places in my garden to make this the highlight in my gardens this season, along with the key lime/white collections of zinnias as I loved that collection just as much. I planted 5ft sections to make a big show. What came up is a short plant with small flowers of pinks and yellows, maybe an orange coming in. These are definitely not the fireballs I saw last year. What a bummer. I am still happy with what grew last summer, so I will have to try it again next year. But boy o boy it is disappointing.
