Not as described. I am a small scale flower farmer with much more experience growing flowers from seed than the average consumer/at home gardener. Purchased Feb 2024 and of my 12 “Senora” plants, zero were salmon colored or frilly-all were hot Barbie pink or magenta and faded to a light pink; at no time were any blooms salmon colored. Only 1/12 plants had double blooms- the rest had single or semi double flowers like the one in the photo. I enjoyed having the hot pink color to add to summer bouquets, but when you have a limited growing space it’s really disappointing to not get what you expected, especially when you have 12 plants of it.

Zinnias had great germination from direct sowing (zone 8b), but, like other reviews, blooms are various shades of pink/red, rather than salmon. Still very pretty, but not quite as described.

I am a Texas Certified Master Gardener, researcher, writer, and grow plants for our semi-annual plant sales from seeds and cuttings. I bought "Senora Zinnia Seeds" last September, 2023 based upon the description and illustrations, expecting a
double-flowered, Salmon pink flower. I attached two single-flowered examples from my grow-out of this seed, ranging from faded-pink to magenta-pink. [Seed Lot #1]

Had a pretty good germination rate, only problem was they aren't really the flowers pictured. Most of them were more pink than a more orange toned peach, also the random red one lol. Don't mind how bad mine look they got demolished by Japanese water beetles in my area :(
