No special care for Cosmos and they reward you by reseeding for next year. I love them. |

Certain cosmos may or may not reseed in your zone. When I was in Z5a in WI, I could not get orange cosmos to reseed for me at all ~ here in Z6b, they do. You may want to collect dried seed heads in the fall just in case. ETA ~ VERY nice pictures, btw

That is amazing that you are getting such great results from just sand! Your flowers are beautiful. I really love the white babies breath with the blue flowers. Are they batchelor's buttons? |
