Mazurkia Zinnia Art Pack Seeds
These mesmerizing pink and white starburst-patterned blooms present in an array of configurations, but they all combine a low-growing habit with stems that allow for cut flower use. Named in honor of the Polish "Mazurka" dance, these blooms sweep and dance merrily across your borders and beds. Be sure to grow more than a couple plants if you'd like to see the full expression of the various patterns that are typically present.
Growing Instructions
Direct sow after frost or sow under protection several weeks before, then transplant. Space 12 inches apart. Zinnias appreciate decent soil but are otherwise fairly easy to grow. Makes an excellent cut flower. Japanese beetles love them, so do pay attention in mid-summer.

They are a values-driven seed company that practices and celebrates responsible seed production and stewardship. They have our own certified organic farm in upstate New York where they produce much of what they sell.
The folks at Hudson Valley Seed Company are both farmers and storytellers who are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in their catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO.
