Growing only 14 to 18 inches tall, this variety has a lower growth habit than traditional zinnia varieties and has uniform and prolific two-inch blooms. Plantings tend to be dense and bushy, covering the ground and filling the garden with color. Not only are Profusion Apricot Zinnias resistant to powdery mildew, they do well in extreme heat, drought and even tolerate cold and humid conditions.

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    Such a surprise! I love these so much more than I thought I would. It's like a firework display of different shades of peach and orange. I started these inside and transplanted (I'm in zone 10)

    Customer photo review of Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    Easy to grow once you get past the sprout phase when they are vulnerable. Gives long last border of sunshine all summer long.

    Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    Extremely disappointed with the amount of seeds for the price. Still can’t find where seed count was provided in the description. I would assumed there would be at least 35 seeds, not 25 for the price charged.

    The profusion apricot were strong, colorful & stunning zinnias. We were very impressed with these. Used them as mounding ground cover. We will order these again!

    Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    Ordered these along with multiple other seed packets on 3/4, over 20 days ago. Eden Brothers took over a week to ship the seeds and when they did ship the seeds, they sent an incorrect shipping number so that it wasn't able to be tracked. I followed up multiple times and the only response was to wait and check back after another week. Followed up again after waiting for the period they requested and still no sign of my order.

    Zone 8b Color is closer to a yellow for me, but still lovely! They are the only thing looking beautiful in this heat wave! 12 inches in height, perfect for a low border plant. Will try saving seeds for next year!

    Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    Really love this one! The flowers are more on the orange side of salmon and for me the plants are more stout than the product description but I love them! Next year I am planning to have these more as a boarder since they are low growers (closer to 6-8 inches high and 10-12 inches wide).

    Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    This is my first time growing zinnias and they look great! The plants are super bushy and covered in buds. I love the unique soft coral color. I bought two more varieties of seeds after seeing how well these came up!

    Zinnia Seeds - Profusion Apricot

    I ordered this package of seeds Order #EB262374 on May 30th of this year. I received and potted the seeds in potting soil/and to date I have 1 plant starting to grow, there are no others growing. Should I send photos of the two flower pots I used. I have a "green thumb" and am shocked that for the price of $8.69 including shipping and tax I will have only 1 plant!!!
