caroline the weather forecast is for better warmer weather from sunday/Monday onwards. I'd wait a bit and harden them off for a while first. I love cosmos, they seem to go on flowering forever. I just had 25 Xanthos delivered and I can't wait to see the flowers
yes stevo4 i want to make it the year of the cosmos,ive got a few different ones,just cant wait to get them growing.
hi hazel were planting out some down,here,iam 6 miles from bath,iam too eager.lol.
Just thinking out loud here...apparently you can tell what colour foxgloves with be ie. white ones have purely green foliage while natural/coloured have a reddish tinge.
Does this principle apply to cosmos? I have some young plants about 4 or 5 inches high. Some have reddish stems while others are pale green. They are sensation mixed
I think it applies to lots of plants Fishy
Aquilegias, astrantias, mirabilis, antirrhinums for some.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Your question has caught my attention fishy, I've sown a mix too.
Hope someone out there can elaborate.
Nut has helped me out on this one before (lost the labels on my cosmos seedlings one year) - those with red/dark stems produce red or pink flowers, those with green stems produce white flowers
Verdun, I am just growing Cosmos for the first time. When you say pinching back, do you mean just the growing tip or further down the stems?
