  1. Great blog on zinnias! I’ve been growing them for 20+ years – using seeds collected from the previous year. I pinch off flower heads, pull petals off & dry them on a screen. Stored in a coffee can in basement, they do not get moldy. At planting time (late May) I just grab handfuls of seeds and spread them on the soil, pat gently in the ground & cover with a thin layer of soil. I have every variety & color imaginable – there can be 3 or more different colors growing on the same stalk! These are the perfect flowers for butterflies, bees & other pollenators.

    1. I saved a bunch of my favorite flower heads last season, I bought a few of the Floret zinnia seeds that they developed–they were so $$ that I had to save some!! I would love to see your pretty zinnias, you have to send me a picture! Yes, they are such a great pollinator, the monarchs just love visiting.

  3. I love growing zinnias and yours are so beautiful Jennifer. I’d love to feature this post on my Saltwater Sounds blog post this Sunday.

      I swear I’m going to double the zinnia space next year because they are just so fun!

  4. Your zinnias are so pretty! I love the lime orange colored ones, too! I definitely need some of that color for next year. Big Al wants to save the seeds from the one you sent me, get some more, and “fill the garden with them” next summer. 🙂
