cheers Amy

thanks Gwendas

So pretty! I love Cosmos!

they are a cheery flower alright charlie

BUT only if you grow the pink/white ones! Beware of seed packets that say 'red'.... such a disappointment. Weedy little plants and tiny orange flowers.

thanks for that Spritz, need to avoid those so

I've some cosmos that have seeded themselves from last year. Love the foliage too.

one of my summer favourites

Lovely colour Irish. We've grown cosmos for the first time this year. Near the coast I saw them about 2ft tall but ours are nearly as tall as the greenhouse. Is that because there's different varieties and we just happened to get the tall one, if so I'll check the packet details more closely next time

I had the very same problem last year, Joannie. The plants were so tall and branched out too so they fell over into the border and were too heavy to support! - that's why I decided to try the smaller so-called 'red' ones. I am looking for a new variety to grow next year, too.

Mine do look a mess, too tall, lots of greenary but not many flowers although those I have, I love. I want to get some Japanese anemones next year too, they have similar flowers to Cosmos and are very pretty but with less greenary

these took ages to flower, i thought i would just have greenery in the pots and then few weeks ago they all started flowering

Morn Eileen :) U talk about late i4got 2tell u i found another cosmos growing in my gardening but i dont think itl have time now 2flower do u ? :)
