This stuff about zinnia seeds is interesting.


In my hobby of breeding zinnias, I pick those plump green seeds to speed things up.



It is interesting and yes I am talking about the brown seeds.

Do the shapes of those brown seeds somehow indicate or even give a little hint as to whether a seed could be a double or a single? At what point does that seed or nature decide the seed is going to produce a single or a double? Could a growing environment cause it to produce a double or vice versa?

I love to use the green seeds ….lol. I've always wondered where this green seed practice came from. Did you stumble upon this somehow on your own?
