We first acquired the seeds for the Turkish Mix zinnia through USDA Germplasm. Since then, every growing season we keep selecting seeds for single and double flowers, color and yield but we also keep the integrity of this beautiful zinnia mix together. In this mix you get a beautiful range of petal colors from sunset to purple. Some flowers are single, some are double.
