Blomma Zinnias Seed Sale- Updated information for 2026
Annual Seed Sale Coming Monday, January 26, 2026
Seed Sale Details
When:
Our Annual Seed Sale is Monday, January 26th, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time ( Los Angeles time is the easy way to remember) through end of day Monday, February 2nd.
Available Varieties:
This year we have made some changes in how we develop seed as a result of your feedback. We increased growing area, brought in help and invested in streamlining the seed cleaning process. In response to the huge demand for our seed we have decided to limit the varieties we're offering in order to focus on producing more seed of our two best selling varieties, 'New Parchment' and 'Melon' (See photos and information below). We are thrilled to be able to offer these two varieties in much greater quantities and expect to have enough to meet the demand for the first time! These two varieties are available separately.
Seed Quantity:
Thanks to our increased production each packet will contain a minimum of 20 seeds.
Price:
As much as we want to keep our prices as low as possible so that more people can have access to the seeds, in order to make the improvements, mentioned above, we are finding ourselves in the position of having to increase our seed packets from $12.00 to $17.00USD each (plus tax and shipping as before). Fortunately, even with the increase, our price is on the lower end of costs for privately developed seeds. Still, to help balance that cost we are working to reduce shipping costs and expect a net increase of just a couple of dollars per packet. As soon as we can confirm the shipping costs we'll update it in an email and on our website.
Shipping:
We are finalizing options to reduce the cost of shipping from last year and will update that information as soon as we can. Weare also activly investigating shipping abroad, however, shipping outside of the U.S. is beyond our scope for this year's sale.
Processing:
We will begin processing orders right away in the order received. We anticipate the first orders to go out within 7 days and take about 5-7 to ship to you. Unfortunately, we cannot combine multiple orders.
As always, our goal is to create high quality seed that grows exceptional, captivating blooms on vigorous plants to make your garden and work unforgettable.
We are deeply grateful for your trust, enthusiasm and support of our work!
New Parchment
New Parchment is a fan favorite variety in versatile, soft colors that range from buff, linen, blush, light cantaloupe to whipped butter. Later in the season tones of caramel can present themselves in some of the buttery colors. A third generation line, its abundant petals form 3"-4" domes on long sturdy stems on plants that grow 3 to 4' tall. The large blooms are excellent for event work and bridging other colors in design work as well as market bouquets and large installations. New Parchment is a generous bloomer and a remarkably prolific seed producer making it valuable introducing into breeding work.
'Melon'
Melon is a new variety with large 4-6 inch double blooms covered in stacks of petals. Colors include casaba melon, light watermelon (like that spot where the rind transitions to the fruit) and cantaloupe, with subtle variations of each. The colors ombre to richer tones as they age and as the season lengthens. The plants get to four feet tall and have sturdy stems that easily hold the heavy blooms without being too thick. These large blooms command attention and are easily used for gorgeous focal flowers, in large scale arrangements or as space-filling blooms in market bouquets. They can also be used in their early mature form for smaller scale work.
Tips for a Seamless Purchasing Experience
Verify
•Verify all your contact information is up to date and accurate before you check out. You’d be surprised how many times people realize too late they’ve put in an old address or mis-entered an address. Take your time and double check. In particular, if you’re mailing seed to a different address than your own, verify it is correct before the sale.
Every Order Needs an Address
• Each shipping address requires its own order. If you’re buying for yourself and buying to send to a friend, please make it two separate orders so each gets the proper shipping information. • If you’re out of country and sending to a U.S. address, be sure you verify all the information before you order.
Plan Ahead
•Have an idea of what you want to order ahead of time. We don’t accept returns so planning ahead will help. There are only two varieties this year – Melon and New Parchment- so it’ll be pretty simple. There’re no limits and we have plenty of seed,
but it will save you shipping costs to put all your packets in one order. We cannot combine orders once they’ve been submitted.
Match Your Names (if possible)
• Please enter the same name from your credit card as your name on the order. For example, if your credit card is under a business name, simply add the business name after your name on the order. It gets really complicated to double check orders when the names don’t match and may cause a delay in getting your order processed.
Most importantly, we have lots of seed. There’s no need to be panicked or rushed so verify ahead and take your time. Your order will sail through!
BLOMMA'S ANNUAL SEED SALE - Monday, January 26th, 2026
For those interested in obtaining our Zinnia elegans seed, will are offering our exclusive seed from our summer 2025 breeding program while supplies last.
This will be the only opportunity in 2026 for you to receive our seed.
WHY?
There has been so much demand for our zinnia seed that we have decided to give more space to zinnia seed production. We're still growing smaller quantities of our other varieties in development. This sale is intended to support our breeding efforts and get these wonderful new varieties into your hands. Your purchase will allow us to continue to bring you the beautiful varieties you've fallen in love with and to further develop the latest beauties you saw last summer as well as breed for other new, wonderful surprises. We want to be able to continue to develop our seeds to make them available to everyone so that you can grow these blooms on your farm to sell, in your garden to add our genetics to what you already have, or just to enjoy. We kindly ask, in support of our efforts, that you do not resell our seed.
Our quantities are no match for large scale breeders, but we have worked to increase quantities and expect ample quantities to help to reduce shopping stress and improve your purchasing experience.
ABOUT THE SEED
The individual varieties we are offering this year are 'New Parchment' and Melon'. Even in these isolated seed mixes we can't guarantee exactly what will bloom out of the individual mix you receive, given these are not fully developed varieties.
However, what we can guarantee is that all the seeds we are sending have been collected from double flowers only. While some singles may still pop up, the majority should be semi-doubles or doubles. You can also expect the majority of blooms in the range of colors associated with the varieties from the selection shown above. Part of the fun of custom bred zinnias is waiting to see what the blooms are! While most should be very similar to those pictured, it's possible you may grow new colors and forms that no one has ever seen before.
It is also possible, due to zinnia genetics, you will also see a small percentage of more typical bright colors pop up as these varieties are still in the development process.
For those who want to save seed from their Blomma zinnias this summer, we recommend sowing 4-6 weeks indoors before your last frost and planting out once the chance of frost has passed. If you don't get frost, wait until your nighttime lows are consistently above 55°F to plant. Cull any plants with colors or other traits that you don't care for as soon as you identify them to avoid unwanted crosses. Allow the remainder to cross as you wish or isolate special keepers for your own use to hand pollinate.
