Description
A Fleurelle Flower Farm original. This variety is exclusive and selectively bred on our farm. A beautiful soft and elegant blend of pastel blooms in shades of blush, soft pink, and buff, this variety features a delightful range of forms—single, double, and cactus blooms in small to medium sizes. Each flower offers its own charm, with textures that twirl and dance—from ruffled petals to playful twizzles and whimsical petaloids. A truly special blend, perfect for those who love soft pastel shades and floral textures.
Please note we are still actively working on this variety and a small percentage of seeds may produce off-colour blooms.

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. Place in a warm area to germinate. Plant outdoors once chances of frost have passed as zinnias don't like cold temperatures. Seeds can also be direct sowed in the garden. Pinch plants once they've reached 12 inches to encourage branching for more blooms.
Harvesting
Harvest zinnias when flowers are mature. Use the 'wiggle test' by grabbing a stem a few inches below the flowers and wiggle the stem. If the stem bends and flops it is not ready to be cut. The stem should be firm and stay upright.
