Zinnia
Whether you want to dabble with developing your own special strain of zinnias or simply save money at seed-buying time, saving viable seeds from the zinnia plants in your garden is quick and easy. Today’s zinnias are descended from Zinnia elegans, native zinnias found in Mexico and the southern United States. Heirloom seeds, sometimes called heritage seeds, produce offspring true to parent plants -- the flowers you grow from heirloom seeds are similar. Hybrids revert to the lineages that were crossbred during the development of the hybrid variety, and planting seeds from these flowers results in a wide range of flower types.
