This was my first time growing the Fireball Blend and they were so easy. They started blooming a few weeks ago and the colors are so, so beautiful.

Love this blend! These flowers have been the highlight of my summer garden, surviving the Phoenix summer in full sun. Only wish I planted more.

I've been growing these zinnias for 2 summers now - they are a tall variety with large blooms. Perfect for large butterflies to land on - they are attractive to many monarch and swallowtail butterflies in my yard. Their red and orange colors are vibrant and they last a long time.
