Hi Evelyn,
" Are any of the seeds stable... "
Zinnia seeds remain viable for several years if stored reasonably well (dry and not hot), and at least some of them come true from seeds. So, they are somewhat stable. Others vary quite a lot, and some of them are actually better (in my eyes). I have some zinnias in bloom at this present time, blooming under fluorescent lights in the apartment. They came from stored seeds that I brought from the farm and some from green seeds that I saved here in the apartment. I should take some photos of their blooms. One of them is a yellow Razzle Dazzle. I have been thinking about getting a tiny refrigerator to store seeds in a cooler than room temperature. More later. It's past my bedtime.
