    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Illumination

    I also was surprised when my zinnias bloomed purpled and the petals all bloomed in weird shapes. Not sure if I was sent the right seeds

    I have been planting Illumination zinnias for years. This year the seeds I purchased have produced a totally different zinnia. A smaller, purple flower. Not the large pink blossoms that they should be.

    The display color is totally different not pink at all , all are pale purple which i dont like at all and shape is different. Buy some other variety. germination is great but the flower is not what you want.

    I was so excited for these zinnias to grow and bloom only to discover they were not the correct seeds as advertised. They’re a purple color with absolutely no pink in them. The zinnias that grew aren’t pretty bloomers either. They’re random shapes with sad petal shapes.
