This Specialty Salmon Cross Breeder’s Pack comes from a fun experiment centered on our Giant Salmon Heirloom zinnia. The salmon mother plants were grown with white, Crème Brûlée, Senora, and other salmon-and-apricot zinnias, creating the possibility of many new colors and combinations.
Every seed in this packet was collected from a Giant Salmon mother plant. The first listing photograph shows the mother flower; the additional photographs show some of the possible pollen-parent influences.
Packet contains: Approximately 40 seeds (300 mg)
What to Expect
Seeds collected only from Giant Salmon mother plants
