Late Cosmos and Self seeded Cosmos

do they grow easy from seed? might give them ago next time if they do. :O)

Yes. I like the path.

Always pretty with a nice range of tones.

They are pretty and I,d love to grow the shorter ones its too windy here for the big ones

Nice to see the cosmos doing well. (all mine failed this year lol)
I like that path too :o)
Strange for the wisteria to flower in August. Never mind, it's a bonus ....

I've never tried them in pots,Neellan..and didn't know they would self seed..I might try and forsake some of the dead heading to see if mine do..The shorter ones are very nice too..mine are huge this year..but I love them..That Pergola looks very nice,and I love the path..reminds me of the old stone setts,we had in our last garden..still a lot on the lanes round here...

I have some I started from seed in the greenhouse and others that selfseeded themselves, they are all huge as is everything else, the amazing thing is the fact that some are white, all sorted by themselves, I`m collecting seed again and hoping to have some white again next year.
Lovely pics Neellan...

Mine failed too :( although the seedlings came up and were healthy the slugs & snails ate every one in the border!! Nice photos Nee.

They are easy to grow Suey I hope you give them a try next year :o)

Thank you Diane :o)

I agree Dwyllis such pretty colours :o)

I just planted them later more in hope than expectation Pam - end of May beginning of June I think :o)

Sorry your Cosmos failed Hywel probably slugs they strip them in a minute!! I love the path too he did a good job!the Wisteria had flowered earlier this is a second blooming - a bonus :o)

I didn't realise they self seed either Bloomer it was a nice surprise, I love their Pergola and path too, they used reclaimed setts which took some finding! :o)

Thank you Linsclass I hope you have success with your white seed collection, lovely aren't they :o)

Sorry you lost yours too Grandmage some of mine in a different pot were gobbled too, Thanks for liking my pics :o)

Thanks for liking Sticki and Drc :o)

They look lovely :o)

Thank you Geranium :o)

I've only just caught up with this blog, Neellan - such beautiful flowers, cosmos. I only sowed some this year for the first time, and they've been magical, however, with the end of the hot dry and the onset of the hot wet, this year's flowers, which have been seeding themselves all summer, have yielded a brand new crop of thousands of baby cosmos, which are growing madly. Who knows, they may flower by November! Does this mean I won't get any seedlings NEXT year, do you think? I'm hoping there are a few stray ones lying dormant, because the current ones certainly won't survive winter. Maybe I should just dig all the babies up. Feels wrong, somehow. :o(

Hi Neena.
Those Cosmos are so pretty :o)))

Thank you Gattina I would imagine the remaining flowers will seed for next year but to be on the safe side i would dig a few baby ones up and pot them on for next year just in case. This is only the second year I've grown them, good luck with yours :o)

Thank you TT I was there today they are still lovely :o)

Good idea, Neellan. Thank you for that. Our seedlings are growing so darned fast, at least a couple already have flower buds on them!

Goodness they are doing well, I'll have to check my daughter's garden to see if her Cosmos are doing likewise!!

They certainly did well. Have you tried the new one which is pink and has a button sticking out in the middle?

No Wells mine were just a packet of mixed seeds, but I will look out for that one :o)
