The breeding goal for this blend:
A blend of delicate pinks, creams and whites to inspire sense of calm and hope.
Breeders Notes:
This is a mix of a number of brand new varieties created in 2023 by hand crossing whites, creams, Windfall Lilac, other pink flowers and one very special "cafe" coloured flower. The cafe coloured flower had some hidden cactus genes, which imparted some curlyness to the petals of many of the flowers. Most of the flowers in this blend were mid-sized and globe shaped in a range of white, cream, pink, lilac, lavender and cafe colours, with some pale peach. Because the seeds in this blend are from flowers that were brand-new crosses, I expect the results will be very unpredictable. Cross your fingers and "hope" for some beauties! You might find a lot of surprises in this mix - but those surprises might be even more beautiful than the originals! We will continue to select for refined shapes in delicate pinks, lavender and cream hues in future years.
Please Note:
All of our seeds are harvested by hand, by Barb, to ensure that they are from the exact plants pictured. However, our blends contain seeds from new varieties that are in progress in our breeding program, and therefore results will be somewhat unpredictable. Additionally, the seeds are from flowers that have been freely pollinated by local pollinators, and therefore will have been cross pollinated with the other zinnias in our breeding program to some degree. We have included plenty of seeds (50 seeds) in each packet to give you the opportunity to remove any plants with characteristics that you don't want. Please read more about our zinnias here.
