Zinnia seeds and freezing temperatures?
In years past, I have been able to collect seeds from my zinnias after the flower heads die. There is a freeze expected tonight and they have not died back yet. Will the seeds still be viable if they have frozen? Can I collect the flower heads and let them dry and still be able to use the seeds next spring?
I can't cover them tonight. They are too tall and cover too big an area.

Cut the heads off some and lay on a newspaper or paper towel to dry out. Crumble between your fingers to get the seeds out and store in a zip lock baggie til spring.

Sure, they'll be fine. Think about plants in the wild. They drop seeds that stay exposed to freeze, snow, cold all winter....
