The breeding goal for this blend:
Globe shaped flowers in a blend of mid-tone, ombre colours to add pops of cheer to bouquets and gardens.
Breeders Notes:
This blend was produced by crossing 2023's Windfall Lilac with other flowers in our collection. The result was a rainbow of mostly globe shaped pops of mid-tone colours, including some lilac! I expect many of the seeds from these flowers to produce globe shaped flowers again, but there will likely be some larger, fluffier shapes and brighter colours in the mix. Pull out those that are not the right shape or too bright and let the mid-tones take over, if you wish! We will continue to select for the globe shape and ombre-mid tone colours 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.
