I'm on the lookout for Little Flower Girl Zinnias and pastel zinnias ( the type that Blomma Flower Farm, Dawn Creek Farms or Sea Change Farm and Flower grow) I'd be more than happy to pay you something if you have any to share. I've been wanting to grow these ever since I seen them and just never been able to get my hands on some seeds so thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone has some extras.

Yes they do. They sold some one year and I didn't get on the website before they sold out. However at this time they aren't available because they are building stock to be able to keep up with demand. I was hoping to find someone who possibly grew them and saved seeds that I could potentially buy or trade from them and be able to grow grow them this coming summer but if not I will just wait until they are available again.

Hello again, FlowerLady,

There are online seed companies that have extensive selections of zinnia seeds. One with an extensive zinnia offering is Hazzards.

https://www.hazzardsgreenhouse...

Another seed seller I patronize is GeoSeed. Their main catalog doesn't have pictures, but they have an extensive offering of zinnia seeds as well as seeds in general.

https://geoseed.com/

I have also purchased zinnia seeds from several other seed sellers. Shopping on the Internet can be very productive, as long as you take care to avoid the bad actors.

By saving seeds from your favorites, you can become your own best seed source. Thumbs up

Yes thank you! I'm familiar with those places. The type I'm looking for is a specialty zinnia not widely available yet so those places don't carry this specific variety.

I was disappointed not to get that one this year, too. Maybe next year. Smiling

Floret sold the Little Flower Girl zinnia in 2021 they are building stock of it so maybe next year it will be available again. I got an email saying Dawn Creek and Blomma Flower Farm are having fundraisers for there's so guess if a person wants to donate $50 and get something not widely available you have a chance there.

I was certain I had a photo, but apparently I don't, Evelyn. The form reminds me of a Lilliput zinnia, but the colors are barely there blush pinks, palest peach shades and cream. Dreamy.
