- Rachel C.Rated 5 out of 5 starsJun 27, 2026Really lovely in arrangements
I somehow got entirely green zinnias (I didn't sow the whole pack, it must have been luck of the draw and also seedling selection!) these were seven weeks sow to bloom in full sun, Sacramento heat. These have been vigorous and really easy. I could not be happier with them.
Because of another reviewer writing that they got colors, I made sure to keep these separate and be disciplined so I think most of the seed packs are truly producing the green!

We're so thrilled to hear about your amazing Key Lime Pie Blend Zinnia success! How cool that you got all green zinnias - what are the odds of that! Seven weeks from sow to bloom in Sacramento heat is fantastic, and we love that they've been so vigorous and easy for you. It's awesome that they're working out so beautifully in your arrangements! We really appreciate you being so thoughtful about keeping them separate and sharing that insight about the green blooms - that's super helpful for other gardeners to know. Thanks for sharing your wonderful zinnia growing experience with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
- DF S.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 starsJul 31, 2025Beautiful Flowers, not Key Lime
They are quality seeds but I made 2 containers of just the key lime pie seeds and I'm getting multiple colors. I really wanted a uniform color story and hoped botanical interests would deliver as this is a common problem, but they are not all key lime, lovely to the may be

- Janice Z.Verified ReviewerRated 4 out of 5 starsAug 1, 2025I have the loveliest whites doubles and a few single white zinnias, but no lime. I did have some bright pink.
While I’m thrilled with the beautiful white meringue, I'm missing the lime pie part. A hot pink snuck in somehow.
Maybe she's a pink lemonade and was confused.
