Garden Era™ Collection · Seven-Packet Seed Collection
Good Optics.
Color theory. With roots.
Seven separately packed flower varieties take your garden from red to violet: five colorful zinnias, Tall Blue Cornflower and Blue Sage (Salvia farinacea). A curated rainbow garden for sunny beds, borders and bouquets.

The complete collection
Seven labeled black seed packets inside a black resealable pouch. Seeds for planting; flowers, vases and styling props are not included.

A garden with a point of view
Let the warm colors lead and the cool colors carry the eye across the garden. Five zinnias bring bold flower shapes, blue cornflowers add a lighter note, and Salvia farinacea supplies the indigo spires. Arrange your own color wheel outside, then cut a little spectrum for the table.
Choose the placement of every variety. Keep the packets separate and build the garden around the spaces you love.

Use the collection for sunny beds, coordinated borders or a cutting patch. Enjoy fresh flowers as they open, and let your arrangements change with the season.


Your packet-by-packet planting guide
Plant each packet separately so you can follow its sowing depth, spacing and seasonal window. Clear weeds and grass, loosen the soil surface and water gently after sowing.
| Variety | Approx. seeds | Fill weight | Sowing depth | Final spacing | When to plant |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R · Cherry Queen ZinniaZinnia elegans | ≈ 225 | 1.5 g | ¼ in | 9–12 in | After the last frost; warm soil |
| O · Orange King ZinniaZinnia elegans | ≈ 225 | 1.5 g | ¼ in | 9–12 in | After the last frost; warm soil |
| Y · Canary Bird ZinniaZinnia elegans | ≈ 225 | 1.5 g | ¼ in | 9–12 in | After the last frost; warm soil |
| G · Envy ZinniaZinnia elegans | ≈ 225 | 1.5 g | ¼ in | 9–12 in | After the last frost; warm soil |

Packets are filled by weight. Counts are estimates, not exact guarantees; natural seed size varies by lot. The packet estimates add to approximately 2,025 seeds. Total net seed weight: 10.1 g.
Use full sun and well-drained soil. Keep tall plants where they will not shade shorter companions.
Keep the seedbed evenly moist through germination, without waterlogging. Thin to the spacing above and water as needed while roots establish.
Cornflowers favor a cool start; zinnias favor warm soil after frost. Flowers develop in stages, so the whole collection may not bloom together.
Blue Sage is Salvia farinacea. Surface sow indoors and leave the seed uncovered; light aids germination. Transplant after frost and thin to about 12 inches apart.
A garden plan, planted your way
The illustrated 20 × 10 ft layout includes 160 sq ft of planting beds and a 40 sq ft central access path. Red, orange, yellow and green share one side; blue, indigo and violet share the other.
This is a suggested layout, not a tested broadcast coverage rate. The packets are planted individually; the area you fill depends on spacing, establishment and how many plants you choose to grow.


This collection contains seven separate labeled packets for individual planting. The existing ROY G. BLOOM™ blended seed mix is a separate product with its own sizes and SKU options.
Each packet is filled by weight. Counts are approximate because seed size varies naturally. Use the estimates to plan your planting.
Expect a changing seasonal display. Timing, height and flower color vary with climate, planting dates and growing conditions. The images illustrate the intended palette and possible garden styling.
