I didn't give this a 5 only because it's still a seeding. These were the first in the flat to come up; and the germination was very good. But how they will do in my yard is still unknown. The other zinnia in the flat (also from seed corner) didn't come up at all! This is far from my first year growing zinnias (which are easy!) so I am puzzled. I'm happy to have a yellow in Canary Bird (I hope I have yellow! I DON'T have white or pink, But I hope these are true to the stated and pictured yellow!)
