Question about replanting zenia flowers....?

I was told if I cut off the dead flower blooms of my zenia plants and put them in a paper bag if I replant them next spring the plant will grow back, is this true? If it is do I just use any bag ans where do I store it at?

Question about replanting zenia flowers....?
All they are saying do is to plant the seeds from your existing plants, and which are in the flowerhead. Some of them will come back, no matter what u do, from falling from the blooms, naturally.

Any bag will work, paper that is, so they can breath and dry.

any cool, dry place, closet shelf ...

This is true w/ most perinneals, zennias, marigolds ...

Some newer varities do not work as well, since they have been crossbred not to come back. They still will, but it won't be as heavy as those from "seed sttock", plants grown specifically for seeds. For best results, find "heirloom" varieties, (heirloom trading sites, old time homes in your rural areas ...) and keep the seeds from now on, for yourself and others.
Reply:Collect the dead flower heads very soon after they start to dry.put them in a paper bag and the seeds will fall out. if left on the stalk they will reseed themselves which has probably already happened. my neighbor has a large patch that come back by itself ever spring.
Reply:Yes, use a "paper" nor plastic bag, store them in a cool, dry place, be aware that if they were hybrid flowers they will not come back true, that's to say they will revert to the parent flowers that the hybrids were developed from.

Better to spent a few dollars and get the flower types your really want.

good luck
