For people like me, that are older and disabled, this video is a blessing. I had no idea it would be this easy to grow flowers without getting down on the ground and digging. I'm on this right away! I love flowers but just cannot physically garden anymore. This looks like something that will bring me a lot of joy.

This will be my first year that I'm harvesting zinnia seeds. And I'm so excited for next

Another great thing about growing Zinnia's is they are not liked AT ALL by deer or other small animals that will eat sunflowers all day long. I use no fencing or barrier and my Zinnia's remain untouched by our large deer population of NC.

I appreciate your garden style because I too prefer to toss things and bless them to nature. 😂 Zinnias were the first cut flower I ever grew and they are basically bulletproof…aside from powdery mildew if they’re too crowded.

@lisajimerson4568 Год назад

I know the longer the bloom is left on the plant the seeds will form. How long do I leave them before deadheading to get the seeds?

@wk4240 Год назад

Love This Method. Thankyou for sharing. You might want to mention that it's best to also save some of the largest blooms.

@nostromo7928 9 месяцев назад

I've never heard of this before (I'm new to seed-saving though.) Could you please share with me why you should save the largest flower heads? Thank you! 🌿🙂🌿

@wk4240 9 месяцев назад

@@nostromo7928 The largest blooms are often the strongest, most vibrant and will produce - generally - more viable seeds. Choose the largest blooms of those who you want to keep, and let the flower and stalk completely dry out, prior to harvesting seeds.

@erlindacoligado8700 8 месяцев назад

Not a fan of zinnias. But this year I planted 4 plants from my neighbour, and only 2 survived. 1 is dark pink and the other is red and now I'm hooked. Today is October 4/23, but the flowers are not dried yet, hoping can collect before winter. My question is can I spread seeds on the ground during winter (Zone 5A/Canada) or do it in spring.

@hollyloussaert Год назад

Hello. I'm new here and I have a few zinnias I'd like to replant next year. Really know nothing about flowers

@jannanewbolt8553 7 месяцев назад

I did cut the flowers off about a month and a half ago so my question is to store them for winter do I leave them in the dried flowers or take them apart ?

@NanCharbs 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this! I absolutely LOVE growing Zinnias, but as a beginner need lots of tips like these! 2 questions: do you have to wait longer than it takes for the bloom to dry or can this be done as soon as it is dry (before frost time of course) ? Also wondering if Snap Dragon blooms could be dried like this as well for their seeds? Thank you again for sharing your talent! ❤

@lianealbert7728 10 месяцев назад

I’m not 100% sure about snapdragons but I’m betting the answer would be yes! We have had tons of marigolds te bloom like here and we have even had zinnias, bluebonnets and impatiens do this too… it never hurts to try!!

@thishtns 9 месяцев назад

After a snapdragon blooms, it will produce seed pods. They're tan, about the size of a pea, and they have lots of very very small black seeds inside. If you don't leave the flower on the plant I don't think it'll develop. My snapdragons bloomed twice this year, I didn't cut any blooms but I did take the first set of seedpods off when they were fully dried.

@LindaDavis-iq9zj 9 месяцев назад

I've gardened like this my entire life (63). I only allow them to dry, if I have too many seeds, and share them. I deadhead, drop the seed, use my shoe to cover with soil. Gardening is not difficult, and it doesn't have to be expensive ~ share and receive. Community.

Can you get seeds from the middle part of the zinnia too

Can any flower that is grown from seed be dried in this way and the seeds replanted? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience, particularly when prices have risen so high for buying seeds, plants and gardening in general.

@credx2689 8 месяцев назад

Not all. Several hybrid varieties of plants produce sterile seeds and cannot be propagated in this manner. But many other do- marigolds are another than you easily save seed from existing flowers in your garden, also foxglove, poppy, nasturtium, as well as, many herbs, fruits and vegetables. I love to save seeds from cilantro, dill, arugula, lettuce, spinach and kale (although it’s a biennial so it only makes seeds in the 2nd year) Although, tomatoes and squash/cucumbers and some others will cross pollinate with other types of the same genus and can cause weird hybrids from the plants you grew from your own seeds. It’s so fun to save your own seeds

@karinrender7847 8 месяцев назад

pretty much yes, I have been harvesting seeds from my plants for years, I store each variety in a little tub with labels on and keep them in a cool dry attic space until march when I start the sowing process. Some outside, some inside. If I have a new flower I don't know what the seed looks like, I google lol

@shanewatson6763 11 месяцев назад

Great video! I can't seem to find online, will Zinnia seeds survive a cold winter, stored outside in a shed? I know the plants aren't frost tolerant but what about the seeds? If you let the plants die in early winter and the flowers fall, will the plants reseed themselves each year?

@Gardenary 11 месяцев назад

Hi there! Zinnias will reseed themselves. It's best to keep seeds somewhere cool, dry, and dark, so a shed is usually not the best place.

@betsybugsmith5324 7 месяцев назад

I’m zone 7b - 8a. My zinnias come back from the seed heads that I toss on the ground. They survived 18” of snow one year. -6° another year. I do save some seeds just in case we have a really crazy winter. My impatiens come back every year as well.

@abigailnabal5090 5 месяцев назад

I started growing Zinnias for the first time after watching a Gardenary video last year. My question is this: in the winter, should I cut back the brown/ dead plants or dig them out and reseed or something else?

@RealBradMiller 3 месяца назад

You could cut the plants off at the base, leaving the roots to breakdown and add to the soil, as well as planting with something else. You can plant a cover crop which enhances the soil, and is cut and left to die and breakdown, or plant with whatever is able to grow in your area! I like interplanting food crops with flowers, and growing cold loving crops through the winter where I would not ally have flowers! Cheers! Feed that soil! Don't till like crazy, and don't rip out roots.

@hollylc9914 7 месяцев назад

I started with 1 zinnia mix packet about a decade ago, saved and remixed the seeds every year, planting en masse each Spring. The collection has grown spectacularly through cross pollination! This year, some big as saucers and many with 2-3 hued petals. I have every color of the rainbow in all shapes and sizes, it's just amazing! Now, I'm sorting their Fall seeds for more deliberate planting in Spring. My 3 favorites this year were a pink-white-peach pompom, a jumbo dark crimson, and a single row of petals in BLUE with a tiny purple hat on its cone.

@TaLeng2023 5 месяцев назад

Can't save seeds if growing multiple varieties right? Also if you are also cutting the flowers, when should you stop cutting and leave flowers to go to seed?

@melig7543 Месяц назад

You can still save seeds but the varieties will mix so it won't be the same . But they are still zinnias.

@juliejordan8083 8 месяцев назад

Do the deer love them too ?😁

@Gardenary 8 месяцев назад

Deer don't really like zinnias!

@mzunnurain 7 месяцев назад

Butterflies love them too, and goldfinches. If the seeds are white they are not fertile, don't plant them. Should be dark brown. I didn't like the purple so I didn't save those. I have from red to burgundy and pink. All shades of gold to pale yellow. Oranges galore. Sometimes ombre red orange yellow. I had a monarch last November, northern illinois. I started with dwarf variety but they didn't stay dwarf. Getting to 3 feet high in full sun. Collect before the frost for color selection. After frost they all turn dark burnt orange.
