In reply to Maci. Yes, we plant cosmo seedlings into landscape fabric holes to help keep the weed pressure down. Happy planting!

I was wondering if you use preburned tarp to grow Cosmos? I couldn’t find anything stating that you did but I wanted to make sure. I live in Texas and I am going to try and sow directly into the ground. If you don’t use the tarp how far apart do I need to sprinkle seeds? Don’t want to overcrowd them (if that’s and issue) but while also choking out weeds. Thank you for your help! You’re an inspiration and I’m so excited to get my hands in the dirt this next season with all the knowledge I’ve learned from you.

In reply to Angel Berends. They may just need more time, more sun, or you can give them some fertilizer higher in phosphorus to help with bud development.

What do I do when the cosmos doesn’t bloom

I purchased a pack of the Cupcake Cosmos, and I have to say- they are the prettiest, fluffiest and most luscious cosmos I have ever seen! The other gardeners adore them and they are the eyecatcher of the garden- especially in the evening sun.
They are single and double blooms that start out whiteish in the morning and by afternoon have blushed on the surface with a magnificent light pink ( toward blue, not yellow). I will grow these every year! Tall plants with tons of blooms!

Like Valentina below, I live in zone 7a. The seeds I purchased from you sprouted (every one of them!) and gave me a ton of foliage, but not many flowers. I love Cosmos, and would appreciate advice on how to encourage more blooms. Should I fertilize more or do they require certain nutrients in the soil that I may be lacking? In reference to another comment about your seeds, every single seed I’ve purchased from you has been amazing; I can’t say the same about other sources. I recommend your seeds to everyone I know.

In reply to Valentina Castano. We do a compost tea root drench every few weeks throughout the growing season.

Thank you for all the advice that didn’t work. This is not the first time I purchased seeds from you that are just absolutely no good. Out of a whole packet only one sprouted but didn’t survive after the dome was taken off. I now see why you dot sell often-you are a scam.
