Wow this was very helpful. I am new to growing zinnias in my garden so I didn’t know where to start. Now I know how to plant zinnias next year without having to buy more seeds

My Grand-daughter brought me zinnia flowers that she had started in school, I have really enjoyed the Hummingbirds that they attract also. I have recentley planted some seeds that I saved from the flowers, I didnt store mine by hanging them upside down, nor did I store them in a paper bag, just a zip lock plastic bag. So if they dont grow this year atleast next year I will Know how to store them,Thank You for the info .

Can one allow the plant head to dry over winter by hanging upside down and after drying then pull the petal and retrieve the seed, Thanks much for your help at 77.

I didn’t know it was that easy , I did pot marigolds this year , they were much like this , the amount of seed I gained will plant half a field next year (and I will do it too) . LOL Thank you for sharing.
