The seeds germinated well but sadly thats the only good thing I can say. If the flowers don’t look like the picture on the packet, that’s false advertising. They are more of a bright purple in real life, than a wine color. And for the price I paid, I expected more. I also purchased the Queeny Lime mix zinnias which have yet to flower so I’m not sure if I’ll get any of those. I ordered some other seeds to plant in the Spring so we’ll see how those go. After this experience I’m not expecting much and it may be my only purchase with Eden Brothers.
These giant zinnias are absolutely beautiful! They have so many layers of petals and produce large, full blooms. They’re perfect for flower arrangements. I love them, and next year I’ll definitely try more colors from this variety.
When they are the right seed, they're gorgeous! I planted a bunch of these and most were bright magenta and purple--still pretty, but didn't go with the vibe of my garden. Only one plant produced wine color flowers and it was gorgeous!

I’m growing flowers for my wedding so color is important. Bought these - they’re blooming white. Contacted support and got crickets.

Benary Giant Series of zinnia seeds produce beautiful cut flowers in outstanding colors.
I wonder if I got the wrong zinnia seeds in my benary wine packet. My blooms are not double and look nothing like the other pics. They are average zinnia blooms. Disappointed.
Store owner replied:

We are looking into this, as we want our customers to have those big beautiful blooms. Feedback like yours helps us improve, and we’re glad Customer Service could assist you with this. We look forward to continuing to support your gardening journey!
I was unsure if these would flourish in less than full sun, but they did well!
Great germination. Of all the zinnias I planted this year, this one has by far been the most prolific. Bloom color has generally been more pink than red, but they are still very beautiful. The blooms are slightly larger than my queeny limes and cactus snowman zinnias. Love them!
Huge, very full blooms with deep, intense color somewhere between burgundy and magenta. I wish the photos could do it justice. I'm obsessed with this flower! So far, no sign of powdery mildew when others nearby have. Few seeds, but nearly 100% germination. Will buy more in the future.
Store owner replied:
Hello Christina Bordini. Thank you for your review and we do understand your point. Wine-colored blooms can show some natural variation, ranging from reddish burgundy to more purple or plum tones, and temperature, sunlight, and bloom age can influence the shade and intensity. We have shared your experience with our Quality Control team for further review. We also reached out by email to offer a resolution but haven’t heard back yet. Please reply directly to our original email when you have a chance, as we stand behind our products and want to make sure you’re happy with your purchase and the experience you have growing with us!
These plants are beautiful and blooming brilliantly; however, they are all white. Stunning flowers, just none of them are the wine color I purchased.
Store owner replied:
Hello A S. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that this variety didn't bloom as expected. We understand how disappointing that is, especially when the plants themselves grew so beautifully. Since the bloom color did not match the expected variety, we've shared your report with our Quality Control team for further investigation. Feedback like yours helps us monitor product quality and work closely with our suppliers to ensure customers receive the varieties they expect. We are pleased we had the opportunity to provide a resolution. We stand behind our products and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope you'll continue to enjoy success with future plantings from Eden Brothers!
My partner and I have been gardening and growing veggie's, fruits and flowers for over 5 years. We grow zinnias every year with great success. This year we decided to try what I would call “unique” zinnia variety’s from this company. We spent just under $100 for around 14 packets of “unique to me” variety’s. Sadly that was the worst choice to make. We planted all 14 packets with not a single production. I was heartbroken to have no zinnias this year and even more upset that expensive seeds did NOTHING!!!! Stick to your local seed selling shops and buy the basic zinnias that will have your garden full of colorful blooms and all the pollinators. I did read a few bad reviews before purchasing but decided to give them a go regardless, but I’m here to say do not waste your money or your time on any of these seeds.
These are knockouts! Nearly 5ft tall in full sun. NO ISSUE with rabbits, bugs, slugs, deer, or disease. No wilting in the heat wave, nor were they annoyingly thirsty. Perfection. (zone 6b Pennsylvania) NOTE: stake them! We had a heavy rain that toppled many.
I think it is just too hot this summer. Even with watering, the plants appear to have gone dormant. Hoping the corms will grow next year. Maybe I will plant them in a place that isn’t so sunny.
Benary Giant Wine Zinnai seeds seemed to sprout OK, a bit slow but htey came up. Very tiny sprouts. Then they died, so I will not enjoy any zinnias this year.
