    Stunning! Direct sowed these with great germination rate in zone 8b. Deadheaded regularly and had lots of continuous blooms. Definitely growing these again next year!

    Seemed to grow well but much slower to come to bloom than some cosmos I have tried. Before reaching bloom the deer discovered them :(

    will try again next year.

    I have not seen this in bloom yet, but the seedlings look great and the germination was fantastic.
