What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Brighten Your Garden with Bold, Reliable Color using California Giants Zinnia Seeds, a classic heirloom mix of Zinnia elegans prized for its massive 4–6 inch double blooms and long-lasting beauty. Each packet contains 135–200 non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds—enough to fill borders, beds, and bouquets with a full season of vibrant color.

Brilliant Blooms for Every Garden:
California Giants deliver a rainbow of large, showy flowers in shades of red, orange, pink, yellow, and white. With tall stems and continuous flowering, they’re ideal for cut arrangements and pollinator gardens alike. Whether you’re growing for home décor or outdoor beauty, these zinnias bring cheerful color from midsummer until frost.

Cut-and-Come-Again for Endless Blooms:
The more you cut, the more they bloom. This branching, repeat-flowering variety keeps producing new blossoms all season long—perfect for gardeners who love fresh bouquets and constant garden color.

Pollinator-Friendly & Easy to Grow:
California Giants attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, supporting a healthy, thriving garden ecosystem. They’re low-maintenance and beginner-friendly, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil with just moderate watering.

Planting Instructions:

  1. Direct sow outdoors after your last frost date.
  2. Space seeds 6–12 inches apart and cover lightly with soil.
  3. Keep soil evenly moist until sprouting.
  4. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage branching and new flowers.

Expect vigorous plants up to 3 feet tall that reward you with armfuls of colorful, long-lasting blooms all season.

Edible & Versatile Beauty:
Zinnia petals are edible, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Use the outer petals as colorful garnishes for salads, desserts, or beverages.
