| I save some seeds last year and they did not germinate. I bought new seeds and WS. I really want to learn saving Zinnia seeds. But I don't know when to do. I circle some flowers. Are they dry enough? Any advise or photo to share? Thanks! |

| Don't think those blooms are dry enough to produce mature seeds. Haven't collected zinnia seeds for ages, but when I did, I'd usually wait until the spent flower was fairly crispy and brown then harvest the whole spent bloom. Put them in an empty seed package and picked out the seeds in the spring. |
