2025 Seed Sale
2025 SEED SALE
In response to your requests, instead of including some of each variety per packet, each seed packet will contain seed from only one of the four in-process varieties shown below.
2025 SEED SALE
Shades of Salmon: from the lightest blush to peach, salmon, coral and vermillion. Fourth generation line with blooms 3-4", plants 30-48" tall.
2025 SEED SALE
Muted pastels: linen, blush, light peach and soft raspberry with subtle, muted undertones. A fifth generation line with 3" blossoms, plants 30"-36" tall.
2025 SEED SALE
New (improved) Parchment shades: buff, linen, blush, melon and whipped butter.
A second generation line, 3-4" blooms, 3-4' tall.
Introducing '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.
BLOMMA'S SEED SALE!
For those interested in obtaining our Zinnia elegans seed, will are offering a mix of exclusive seed from our summer 2024 breeding program while supplies last.
This will be the only opportunity in 2025 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 development. This sale is intended to support our breeding efforts and get these wonderful new varieties into your hands. Your contribution 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 want to make them available as we have them, building our stock over time.
ABOUT THE SEED
The seed we are offering as part of this sale will be a packet of a mix of the variety mixes we grew out in summer of 2024 and some open pollinated packets of seed, possibly pollinated with other beauties on the farm by the bees before isolation. Even in the 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.
Returns are not accepted.
