My cosmos are really only just getting into their stride. My fault, I put them in late. It's not been the right sort of weather for a lot of things, especially me actually doing gardening. Either too wet or on rare days ,too hot.
Finally my cosmos has some buds. Cosmos may be flowering late this year but the appearance of buds on 1st Oct seems a bit over the top! I hope they manage to open and flower before the frosts.
This Year was my first time at growing Cosmos from seed. I must say I am very impressed and look forward to having more next year. Unfortunately, unlike Verdun I didn't pinch them out and although they are huge ( up to 120cm) and beautiful, they have started to droop in the recent wet weather. Oh well, another useful lesson learned
Could anyone clarify, do they come back next year? or do I just remove them when they are over?

I grew Johnson's Sensation Mixed from seed. Never had problems before but this year I've got no flowers or even buds.
I've got some white and a few magenta but no pinks at all. I assume they're the sterile ones.

A tall cream one (bought from local nursery) has done very well and has masses of buds on it whereas my magenta ones have been very poor.

No they don't come back
Some of mine are just producing buds. If the first frost holds off, I might even get some flowers
