Cosmos Dwarf Sensation Blend - 3278

/

Direct sow in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. Seedlings are not winter hardy. Sow in full sun...A true sunshine worshiper. Prefers well drained soils so avoid heavy clay areas. DO NOT FERTILIZE. Rich, fertile soils tend to produce unusually tall, lanky plants with few blooms. Plants become top heavy and fall over. Cosmos can be a great cut flower with a vase life of 5-7 days. Harvest the blooms in the early morning hours, and select stems with flowers that have just opened. Remove the leaves below the water line. Generally trouble free, seldom falling prey to disease or insects, and they do not mind being crowded.
Tip: If you have trouble growing Cosmos.......take up golf!! Enjoy

I grew a nice garden from your Texas/Oklahoma mix this year adding some extra poppies. It was some real eye candy! I look forward to this falls planting already.

I want to compliment you on your product. I planted the Autumn Beauty Mix and Dahlia Flowered Mix along my seawall on the Mississippi. The flowers are beautiful and the Yellow Finches, hummingbirds and butterflies love them. I really enjoy just sitting on the deck in the mornings with a cup of coffee, watching all the activity around the flowers.

I am speechless. Your seeds have “painted” a breath taking picture to our yard. The picture can not portray the full beauty and amazing aroma. My daughter Erika took the photo and daughter Jenna loves to pick flowers daily for the home. Your satisfied customer for over a decade and many more years to come.

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the wild flower seed that I purchased. Wildseed Farms was recommended to me by my neighbor. I did not fertilize or anything special just threw the seeds in and watered. Thank you; my gardens are the envy of all the other ladies in town.
