Most of my zinnias are originally from seeds that my mom gave me 45 years ago, when my husband and I moved into our first home. I grew and harvested these seeds/plants every year, and hadn’t ever actually bought zinnia seeds until a couple of years ago. The reason I bought seeds that year was because I didn’t have any of the Candy Cane variety. This year, I bought a couple of packets of zinnia seeds at Walmart, hoping to get some colors that I didn’t have much of. I probably won’t buy zinnia seeds next year. When I harvest my seeds, I never try to pick the seeds out. I put whole flower heads in a paper sack to store over the winter. In the spring, I crumble the flower heads apart and sprinkle seeds, petals and all in a small narrow trench and cover lightly with soil. I figure the petals and all of the other chaff make a compost. I live in southern MO and usually wait until around the first of May, after frost dangers are over, to plant my zinnias. They usually start coming up in about 10-14 days, and then start to bloom around the first of July. They are definitely one of my favorite flowers, and I love to see the butterflies that visit them!

Oh wow!

In the Victorian Era ‘language of flowers , zinnias mean ‘thoughts of absent friends’ or close variations of that. Started growing my own in grad school in teeny garden with roommates. Hence, as grad school days ended, and we each established our own homes…zinnias have been a part of our own gardens though many miles apart. Though many decades ago, this tradition has been maintained and shared with others, too!

Bonjour! J’adore les Zinnia depuis….au moins 30 ans! Ils sont fabuleux et si facile à cultiver. J’aime essayer d’offenses sortes et aussi reprendre mes semences d’années en années sur de vieux plants. C’est tellement gratifiant. Je vais commencé cette année les Pavots. Mais je sais que mon cœur va vers les Zinnia! L’année dernière, j’ai eu beaucoup de limaces. On a eu tellement de pluie au Québec. Je n’aime pas beaucoup les petits contenants avec dôme surtout au moment où je sors mes semis dans ma petite serre. Ils ont trop chauds. Je les cultive maintenants dans de grands bacs, tout simplement. Je les transplante ensuite dans de plus gros pots. J’aime bien aussi les mettre dans les pots et les aménager directement avec ces pots!

I love zinnias, probably because it is really easy to be successful with just a handful of seeds. I told my husband a couple of months ago, "Remind me I don't need any more zinnia seeds." His response: "But there might be some you don't have!" I've got zinnias, dahlias and salvia ready to go in the ground, but we are having such an extended spring here in zone 7B N MS that the poppies, bachelors buttons, nigella and larkspur are still blooming and I can't bear to pull them up (although I need that spot!). I start Persian Carpet zinnias in mid to late July for fall bloom. Aztec Sunset and Jazzy Mix are also good colors for fall, and cosmos Rubenza. My reseeded zinnias never come back as the original variety: they're always pink. At my old house and my mom's, they always came back orange. I'm trying 'Inca' and 'Sungod' this year for late summer-fall bloom.
