A Guide to Harvesting Zinnia Seeds

Lets go! >>>

Step 1:

First things first, timing is everything. To harvest zinnia seeds, you need to let the flowers do their thing throughout the growing season.

Step 2:

Step 4:

Step 5:

Now that you’ve successfully harvested and dried your zinnia seeds, it’s time to save them for future planting.
