Mine are well up, and flowering. Staked all 6 of them yesterday (didn't use the whole packet ) as they get pretty big. Have also got a load of mixed cosmos Sonata dotted through the garden, they don't grow as tall, but it's the Purity that gets my vote if you've got the space.
Terrific plants, I grow them every year, and they are so reliable and easy from seed even when badly treated. Oddly I find they don't work from seedI collect myself.
I think I got lucky with mine. I got a bit carried away and sowed them at the beginning of March, potted them on in the greenhouse and planted out in May. They've been flowering pretty much ever since.

I have just seen my first white cosmos bloom... the first of hundreds I trust, and a tortoiseshell butterfly... boy, am I happy

My first flower is just opening and it's pink!! So much for my plan of a border of all white cosmos! Oh well I'll enjoy anyway.
Mine still look like fennel, no flower heads yet
This one was the same ,filled the pot but no sign of a bud .

Mine are all between 2 and 5 inches tall with absolutely no sign of flowering
Little P-Flower, lots of water, a little tomorite and this heat and you will catch up
