need help with Zinnia Seeds.

8 years ago

Hello. I got a zahara mix, persian carpet and a lilliput zinnia, theyre still seedlings and will probably established in 1,5 months. How long does the Fully bloomed flower dries up so i can harvest their seeds??? I will move into a new house in like 2 months +, and also want to plant them there... Or should i just leave the plants behind and buy their seeds again???

Depending on where you live, weather is going to most likely be your determining factor. If your zinnias were only recently planted, they have a long way to go/grow before a freeze hits. Even cooler fall temperatures will slow down their growth. You might be able to transplant. You have nothing to lose. You might check out the seed exchanges on this site as many people are harvesting their zinnia seeds now.
