Delightfully pastel. Perfectly petite. 22omg About 30 seeds.
Bring a touch of confectionary charm to your garden with the Macaroon Zinnia Mix, a curated blend of zinnias that bloom in nearly every pastel and midtone imaginable — from buttery peach and lilac blush to mint cream, coral sorbet, and soft taffy pinks. These blooms look as though they’ve been dusted with powdered sugar, earning their name from the colorful French macaron cookie.
Each flower measures about 2½ inches in diameter, making them smaller than classic zinnias bUT larger than La petite. Their compact, long stem growth habit makes them ideal for cut flower gardens, borders, or container plantings, where they’ll bloom tirelessly from early summer to frost.

🌱 Growing Instructions
Sow Directly: Zinnias prefer to be sown directly into warm soil after the last frost date.
Sunlight: Choose a full-sun location — at least 6–8 hours daily.
Soil: Loose, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Avoid overly rich soil to prevent excess foliage.
Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and gently press the soil over them.
Spacing: Thin to 8–12 inches apart to promote airflow and larger blooms. Can be grown closer together.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then water deeply but infrequently once established.
Bloom Time: 60–70 days from sowing. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth and continuous flowering.
Tip: The more you cut, the more they bloom! Perfect for filling vases or gifting pastel bouquets that look freshly plucked from a summer dream.
