We planted zinnias this year and saw hummingbirds for the first time in 16 years!!

I live in Florida and have great zinnia flowers. They thrive in my front garden. Picking the seeds is like meditation for me. I look forward to it. Nice and relaxing.

You mentioned one very important point. Seeds collected will not necessarily be true to the parent - colors will likely be varied.
This is the primary reason many people will continue to purchase seeds.

With that said - this is still a great way to extend your flowers from one year to the next.

Thanks for sharing.

I grew a random pack in a medium pot in the greenhouse not knowing anything about them and soon realized I needed a very large pot to keep them in a pot. 10 gal pot with my own mix and the stems got about 3 feet and started budding. We were all excited and the mix of colors and flower size made them everyone’s favorites!!! Super easy grow in Kentucky. I definitely wanted seeds from the same flowers. And the butterflies and hummingbirds were all over the place with these huge flowers!!! Highly recommend!!

I’m harvesting seeds for the first time this year. Excited to see if they actually grow when I plant next year

I was surprised how the Zinnias bloom lasted for a long time. This video has helped me keep them perpetually.

We’ve grown and sold cut zinnias for about 23 years…they never disappoint!

I’m glad I came across this video. I just pulled petals off spent blooms and put in envelopes. The seeds at their tips 0:46 are light colored so I won’t know till i plant them next summer if they are viable. I will move forward collecting seeds from the dried centers. Thank you!

[BrittanyS]

Yes this is my first summer collecting my zinnias seeds!! I have zinnias that came in flats from my local green house and they are just huge.

[CarolRennie-zrwk]

Thank you for this video. I'm new to this gardening thing and this is my first time harvesting zinnia seeds and I didn't have a clue. Your video made everything seem so not frightening and difficult. Can't wait to plant them and see what I get! Thanks again! I will definitely get your book in February.

[bestill]

Thank you guys! I was confused because I didn’t think all of the head was comprised of seed.
Happy gardening 🌸

First time follower here. Thank you so much for the info! ❤

[jeannielautenschleger]

I love Zinnias! I live on the coast and they thrive in my area! I have lots of them this year. I will definitely be harvesting them! Thanks for the video!

[dianebeckett]

Love Zennias! Very Hardy flower! Thank you so much!

[tegannottelling]

Hi, While it was a very informative video, just a suggestion. Some eye candy would have been really lovely, IE some pictures of your cut flower garden, in all its glory. Or even just single pic's of the Zinnias when they weren't just a dried flower head would have been great too.
