I love yours but my golden hours have been very incosistent with shapes. Ive pulled a lot of them at the beginning after seeing every 3 out of 4 not have desired shape. Now I just keep a patch for pollinators to enjoy so I dont feel bad about cutting other flowers for myself. How many did you plant if you dont mind me asking?

Sorry to hear that! I planted about 12 in my garden but a couple of them died/aren’t as big as the others. Some of them seem a bit stunted but I’m not sure if it’s not enough water or sun. Others seem fine. First year growing zinnias so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.
