    I only had 1 seed germinate out of 15ish seeds. Very disappointing when I’ve had great success with other varieties.

    Zinnia Seeds - Aztec Sunset

    Store owner replied: Hello Sil. Thank you for sharing your experience with these seeds. We’re sorry to hear you had such low germination, especially after having success with other zinnia varieties. Aztec Sunset can sometimes be a bit more sensitive to cool soil temperatures and excess moisture than standard zinnias, even when grown under otherwise similar conditions. If planted during cooler weather or extended damp conditions, germination may be slower or lower, as zinnias generally prefer very warm soil temperatures, along with well-drained soil for best performance. In some cases, overly wet conditions can also cause seeds to rot before sprouting. We appreciate the opportunity to provide growing tips and a resolution for you already, and we truly value your feedback. We always stand behind our seeds and want every customer to have success in their garden!
