Same Flower, Diff't packaging or Brand

17 years ago

Today I'm again playing in my seed stash, planning out some beds, and I'm looking at a packet of Burpee Zinnia White Wedding, and a packet of Sean Conway Zinnia Magellan White.

Guess what? SAME PLANT! The pic on the front of each packet is the same photo, as is the description, word-for-word on the back.

Someone was asking on one of the other threads about where we were finding seed racks out, and didn't know who distributes the Sean Conway brand.

What have you found that's being sold under different names, but is the same plant?

I should have kept looking before I posted.

Nuther one:
Burpee Signature Zinna Giant Flowered Mix ($1.57) is the identical photo & nearly identical description as the Sean Conway Zinna California Giants Mix ($2.27)

I purchased the White Wedding Burpees last year for 2.79, and the Sean Conway ones I bought this year for $2.19, so watch those prices.

I think it was me - I have never seen or heard of the Sean Conway seeds before I found them at Target - mmqchdygg - did you have what the weights were on those as well? I think the Sean's get more in them.

They are both identical weights:
White Wedding ones (B) and the Magellan Whites (SC) are both 90mg.
Giant Flowered Mix (B) and Calif Giants (SC) are both 1g

Sean Conway is a designer working for Target. He probably has Burpee seed doing a line with exclusive packaging for him. In other words, they probably come from the same place.
