Bring the excitement of a prize-winning flower display to your garden with towering blooms in a vibrant range of colors. State Fair Mix Zinnias are produced through natural field pollination rather than by hand-blending individual varieties, creating a one-of-a-kind mix where color combinations naturally vary from crop to crop. Because of this type of production method, your garden may not include every flower color shown in the product photos, making each planting an experience that's uniquely yours.

    Zinnia Seeds - State Fair Mix FAQs

    Is State Fair Mix Zinnia resistant to animals or disease?

    State Fair Mix Zinnia shows resistance to Powdery Mildew, meaning it's less susceptible to these under normal growing conditions — though resistant isn't a guarantee against them in every case.

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - State Fair Mix

    These flowers are show stopping. Plant after freeze date, keep seeds damp until sprouted then water down low once a week to prevent mildew. Make beautiful bouquets. Bloomed from late June until late October. Great germination.

    Easy flowers to grow! Should have spread the seeds out a little thinner but overall beautiful and easy to grow

    Of all the zinnia seeds I have purchased from Eden’s these are the only ones, that I don’t plan to purchase again just because of the poor germination. My others zinnia seeds from Eden’s (❤) have been great. I will update on growth later if possible.

    I purchased these zinnias because I was interested in heirloom varieties. I grew them in zone 9 per the planting instructions and none of them grew. Maybe one germinated before dying off. I’m very disappointed. I’ve grown zinnias before with much success with seeds from Home Depot. They don’t have heirloom varieties, but that might be what I try instead.

    These are the easiest most beautiful flowers I have ever grown. My front flower beds looked spectacular last summer!

    This is the first time I've ordered from Eden Brothers, but it won't be my last! The order can when it was supposed to, and the seeds are now in the ground and starting to sprout. Thank you so much as these are my favorite flowers and I couldn't find the seeds anywhere.
