Carousel Zinnia Seeds
Carousel Zinnias (Zinnia elegans) are a striking heirloom mix known for their bicolor petals, striped patterns, and carousel‑like color wheels. Blooms often feature alternating bands of red, rose, gold, cream, and white—each flower forming its own unique pattern. These zinnias are highly valued by cut‑flower growers for their long stems, vibrant colors, and excellent vase life.
What are Carousel Zinnias?

• Heavy bloom production all summer
• Excellent for pollinator gardens and cut‑flower beds
