About Harris Seeds
The Harris Seeds company began its catalog operation in 1879. It evolved from the efforts of Joseph Harris, an English immigrant who became extremely successful in the selection of superior strains of vegetables and grains.

Joseph Harris settled in the Genesee Valley Region of Western New York in the 1850’s. His success as a seedsman led to the beginning of Harris Seeds in 1879. The company became widely popular because of his basic business philosophy – “offer my customers a quality product at a fair price and they will return.” Harris Seeds is an active member of the American Seed Trade Association, the National Garden Bureau and the Mail-order Gardening Association.

Harris Seeds carries over 60 zinnia seed varieties for both home gardens and garden center sales.

Whether you are looking for zinnia seeds for your home garden or for garden center sales, Harris Seeds has a wide selection of zinnias to choose from. Harris Seeds makes it easy for you by sorting the varieties into categories based on your needs – Zinnias for Garden Centers, Zinnias for Cut Flowers, and Zinnias for Home Gardens.

Zinnias are an annual staple for garden centers because of their quick turnaround time from sowing to point of sale, and their vivid flower color quickly attracts consumers. Varieties in the Magellan, Dreamland, Short Stuff, Distance, Zinnita, Zahara, Profusion, and Swizzle series are all excellent choices for garden center sales.

For field grown cut flower operations, zinnias are fundamental and are sold either in single bunches or mixed bouquets.  Varieties such as Benary’s Giant, Cut and Come, State Fair, Oklahoma, Edwardian Mix, and Cactus Flowered Mix are all excellent choices for commercial cut flower zinnia production.

Home garden zinnias come in all shapes and sizes. The dwarf types  such as Magellan, Dreamland, Profusion, and Zahara are perfect for garden borders and patio containers. Tall zinnia varieties such as Ruffles Mix, Zowie! Yellow Flame and Uproar Rose, along with Benary’s Giant, State Fair and Giant Cactus Mix are perfect for the back sections of annual flower beds, and are often cut for indoor enjoyment.
