~Zinnia Ballerina~

*Please select your desired number of seeds from the options. 🌸

We’re simply in love with these! Beautiful, romantic zinnias in soft, summery shades of pastel pink and pale peach, with petal tips that develop tiny speckles over time, like delicate freckles. This double-flowered zinnia variety produces both dahlia-type and cactus-type blooms, creating a gentle interplay of shapes and textures for a fuller, charming, feminine look.

💐🌿All our seeds are carefully collected and selected by hand from flowers grown exclusively on Canadian flower farms (except for ‘Ballerina’ zinnia from Johnny’s Seeds) and in our own garden. They are grown using 100% organic and natural methods, with respect for nature, without pesticides or chemicals, and are non-GMO.

SOWING AND GROWING TIPS:

Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, then transplant outdoors once all risk of frost has passed. You can also sow zinnias directly outdoors (recommended for this type of zinnia) once temperatures have warmed up. Handle roots carefully, as root stress can cause double-flowered varieties to temporarily produce single blooms.
