Sensation Blend is a tall, showy plant with large, 3"-4" white, pink, rose, and crimson flowers. Cosmos are a superb choice for wildflower or naturalized areas, as they are drought tolerant and need very little attention. An excellent butterfly lure and cut flower. 'Sensation' won the 1936 All-America Selections award.

    The package looks lovely but I haven't planted them yet so I can't say much more at this time.

    Exactly as advertised! These became my confidence-booster flowers. I grew them in a bed that got lots of water, one the got drier, and one that was essentially pea gravel. I planted them the first day of spring (March) and July 4. All did great! They took around 45-60 days to bloom. Zone 7a.

    1.Cosmos seeds: Two lots of cosmos seeds and not a single one germinated.

    2. Cleome seeds: poor germination and tiny stunted plants.

    3. Sweet peas: Have not yet sowed the sweet pea seeds. So no feedback until next spring.

    I am an experienced gardener and have successfully grown cosmos and cleome from seeds from other suppliers with great success. Very disappointed.

    Fantastic mix. Every seed is growing into a gorgeous bloom. I can’t believe I can grow such beautiful flowers. Thank you, BI! I’m growing them in grow bags; can only imagine how prolific they would be if they are in the ground. 🌸❤️🌸❤️
