These are so pretty!!! They start out one color and gradually change. Super impressed with these. They are tough and let you know when they need water. I will be planting these again.

Profusion Cherry Bicolor Zinnias add a bright pop to the garden with two-inch white flowers adorned with pink and cherry-colored accents that become deeper as flowers age. These semi-double petaled beauties have a short, mounding growth habit of 12 to 18 inches making them a great selection for containers. Unlike other zinnias, this variety doesn’t require deadheading to continue blooming, making it a low maintenance choice for busy gardeners. Profusion Cherry Bicolor Zinnias are drought tolerant, do well in extreme heat, and are disease resistant to boot!

Profusion Cherry Bicolor 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.

These germinated really well and look absolutely beautiful in pots. I will for sure plant these again.

They are packed with beautiful bicolor flowers, each one unique.

Not only were these easy to grow in a pot with minimal care, they were gorgeous! Flowers’s were dense and short with color that deepened the (white and) pink that washed down the petals. Amazing and looked great on the table on my deck.

This was my first attempt at growing zinnias from seed. I really didn’t give the seeds much care and they were planted in a pretty dry area of the yard. I am in the Boston area and they have bloomed profusely from late July now well into October and even through a slight frost. A great front of the border plant. I will be planting even more next time. My bunny “friends” also left them alone.

They’re all coming up a yucky pale yellow with reddish center. Great germination rate but I think they were mislabeled. Package does say cherry.

Store owner replied: Hello, Kat Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and processes. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!
I’m not a huge fan of dwarf zinnias but these are stunning. I thought they would be taller but the color totally makes up for the height. Also, the middle zinnia on this photo is a different variety. The two on the outside are the zinnias in this review. No complaints!

I really enjoyed these flowers. Had great germination rate. I started them indoors since I live in a short growing season. They bloomed all summer until first frost. They stayed compact and well structured. The pollinators appreciated the single blooms. They were bright and cheerful . I planted them up front as a border with taller plants behind them.

Not one seed came up. I wouldn't buy them.

Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Cherry Bicolor
Store owner replied: Hello Al H. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry your Profusion Zinnias did not germinate. Zinnias generally prefer warm soil, shallow planting, and consistent moisture during germination; cool or overly wet soil, drying out, planting too deeply, or heavy rain can all affect emergence. However, when there is no germination at all, we certainly want the opportunity to help. We reached out by email to learn more and offer a resolution but haven’t heard back yet. We stand behind our products and our Grow Guarantee, so please reply directly to our original email when you have a chance, and we’d be happy to help make this right with you!
I've planted these from seed several years in May...and I do not get a bloom until mid-August. Is this normal? Zone 6b.

I bought two packages and not a single flower. I’ve been buying my flowers seeds and bulbs from Eden Brothers from the past couple of years and love them, but I don’t kwon what happened with this kind of zinnia seeds. Very sad and disappointing.

Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Cherry Bicolor
Store owner replied: Hello KARINA L. Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that your Profusion Cherry Bicolor Zinnias did not produce any flowers. We understand how disappointing that is, especially after having success with other Eden Brothers products in previous seasons. Profusion zinnias are generally known for their reliable performance and continuous blooms once established, so a complete lack of flowering is not what we would expect. Factors such as planting timing, sunlight, weather, or other growing conditions can sometimes delay or reduce blooming, but we understand your frustration when you didn't see the results you were hoping for. We reached out by email but haven't heard back from you. We'd still welcome the opportunity to help, so if you reply to our original message, our Customer Care team will be happy to review your situation and discuss the resolution options available. We stand behind our products and want every customer to have a successful gardening experience!
From all the seeds from the packet I was only able to get two to germinate, which made me sad 😔. I was hoping for a better germination rate because Zinnas are usually easy and have good germination rate. Somehow this one did not work out. This was not the only one that happened to me. It also happened with the profusion ones also.

Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Cherry Bicolor
Store owner replied: Hello Moroccan Queen Bee. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that germination was lower than expected, especially since zinnias are typically reliable performers. Sometimes environmental factors or slight differences between varieties, including Profusion types, can impact germination. We have reported this to our seed supplier and appreciate you alerting us to this! We’re glad we were able to provide a resolution and truly appreciate your understanding. As always, we stand by our seeds and are here to help if you need anything along the way!
These seeds grew and are so pretty. Small round bushes and a lot of blooms.

I’ve started a lot of plants this spring, including many zinnia. This profusion cherry by color had about a 5% rate germination, which is not worth messing with

I was surprised to not have a single plant grow from these seeds. In 2023, I planted them in two different locations and didn’t observe any sprouts. I’ll try cheaper varieties this year.
