What a shame Tet .. would you like some seed if and when I have some from mine ?

Thanks VERY much for the offer Amy, but I filled the space and I'm really keen on growing these Cosmos to dot around. Must keep my expectations under control on the amount I can cope with lol!

Wow they've done great Amy :-), mine haven't got going at all this year they have flowered but are only 2-3ft tall think it was probably the cold spring that did it, oh well better next year.
I lost all mine 3 years ago Tetrarch even with a mulch thank goodness I collected seed :-)

I mulched mine using conifer needles - seemed to protect against crown rot...............

It allows some air circulation, but provided enough insulation to keep my year one plant happy enough.
