'Cupcakes' Zinnia Seed Mix

Annual. This variety of Zinnia is a little different than the usual – its blooms have a large frilly center, offset with a radius of petals - kind of like the top of a cupcake! It’s a vibrant mix of uniquely textured blooms, in a wide range of colors – red, orange, yellow, white, purple, and pink. This mix has all the same good Zinnia qualities – low-maintenance, drought tolerant, easy to grow from seed, and extremely long-blooming. What’s not to love, my friends.
