Our journey with breeding zinnias started about 8 years ago when Garett’s father gave us zinnia seeds from his garden. He had been growing and saving his own seed for decades and thanks to open pollination he had some amazing colors we had never seen before. One of the colors was a butter yellow that he said was his favorite. Marion wanted to isolate this color for him and so started our first colorway that we lovingly call Hal’s yellow after him.
