The Cosmos liberally sow themselves and come back each spring, as long as they don't become crowded out by other plants. <br />Mine are about 4 inches tall now in that same spot outside the back door, and there's already a bloom on one that's a bit taller. <br />They'll grow to be about 4 ft tall or more by late summer, and keep blooming until frost. Deadheading helps produce more blooms. They're easy to move around in early summer...just keep the seedlings watered for a couple of weeks. Seeds are easy to gather as well. Spread them around in the fall or save to plant in spring.<br />Cosmos are so easy for all the beauty they provide. I love their carefree look in the garden! <br />Good luck growing a patch!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-60631993326452911902012-06-07T23:38:00.563-04:002012-06-07T23:38:00.563-04:00Do those Cosmos reseed, or do you purchase MANY fl...Do those Cosmos reseed, or do you purchase MANY flats each year? I love them, but only bought maybe 4 sixpacks, b/c they're annuals, and I thought they wouldn't come back next year.<br />I'm in MA, near lowell, so not seashore MA, more inland with winter :)<br />Thanks for any info re this.<br />KLkatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600194903132320830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-8254751557371082612008-09-12T22:49:00.000-04:002008-09-12T22:49:00.000-04:00Beautiful photos, Kerri.

Do you know where I can get one just like that? Of course, if it has a partner, they would both be very welcome in our garden as there's so very much to do. It has been neglected a great deal this winter - I just can't think what has taken up our time....lol.<BR/><BR/>Everything in your garden always looks so glowing and healthy, Kerri, and I see you still have plenty of my favourite colour, green!<BR/><BR/>I hope these flowers keep thrilling you and the statue for many weeks to come.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-70032787961021676002008-09-02T21:10:00.000-04:002008-09-02T21:10:00.000-04:00Kerri, we have the same preferences in bloom color...Kerri, we have the same preferences in bloom colors!

I think I must have missed most of your summer posts, but I just spent a very relaxed 45 minutes browsing through all your archived posts at a leisurely pace. How very lovely your gardens are! I don't know how you manage to keep up with it all. I see that you've been busy with some summer painting projects as well. Glad to know that your glorious blooms made it through all right. Yes, end of summer is always so bittersweet, but at least we have the autumn color to look forward to. :) I hope your back-to-work schedule isn't too brutal a shock after all the time off. Have a great holiday! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-54312448451158948762008-08-31T14:29:00.000-04:002008-08-31T14:29:00.000-04:00Gorgeous gardens!
