Flower Seeds Cosmos Crazy Blend No Filler 10+ Varieties | Cosmo Bipinnatus Open Pollinated Untreated Resealable Packaging Keeps Fresh Bulk Flowering Mix

La flor de cosmos es tan característica de agosto y septiembre, pero poco a poco va desapareciendo. Aunque el costo es elevado, se compensa al ver lo bien que germinan todas las semillas. Puse unas en germinadores y ya están listas para transplante, recién puse otras en un espacio más amplio y con con agrado veo que a dos días de sembrarlas ya están germinando.

only 10 percent of seeds germinated.

So, the sun was setting, the night was getting cold and windy, a light rain was starting to fall, and the mosquitoes were extremely happy to see me. Yet, I still had 3 more pots to seed, and I was determined to get them seeded before I went inside and grabbed a long delayed meal. I had about 10 packs of flower seeds that I was choosing between, for which seeds to grow in which pots. 2 of those pots had very young trees in them, and the other pot was hosting one sad apple cutting that didn't seem to be planning on surviving. I was hoping having some other plants sharing the pot might just be enough to protect that cutting and give it another chance. So, I picked out which flowers would work best in each pot and set the other seeds aside. At that point I was needed to help out my housemates. With the heavy winds blowing, I couldn't place each seed packet into the planter I wanted to plant them into as the wind was blowing hard enough that boxes and bags were blowing by. Instead, I set the 3 seed packets under the edge of one of the pots that was under the eves and out of reach of wind or rain. An hour later, with dusk well set in, I was able to return to planting the flower seeds. It was now too dark to read the descriptions on each of the flowers, but I thought I remembered which flowers I wanted where. I quickly sprinkled the seeds and applied a thin layer of new potting soil over those seeds. The flower labeles stuck into the appropriate pots. A light watering down with the hose and those seeds should stay put! The next morning I had the energy to double check that I had put the correct seeds into the correct pots, and... Nope. I shifted all the seeds one pot off. This meant that the shortest flowers ended up in the pot with the poor apple cutting, not being able to ever grow enough to shelter the poor apple cutting. The medium height flowers ended up under the young apple tree, where they were a bit crowded into the tree's branches, but still able to grow and find a place for themselves. And these, a beautiful Cosmos mix, were planted where the medium flowers were supposed to go. These beautiful Cosmos mix flowers that were supposed to grow between 18" to 60" were planted under my young fig tree, where they would have about 14" of height to grow into... Sigh... It looked like I would be busy repotting all the Cosmos ,that came up under my fig tree, in a month or two... Imagine my surprise when, 2 days later the Cosmos started sprouting, completely filling up every mm of dirt under my fig tree! By 3 more days the Cosmos were already over 3 inches tall!!! I spent the next 5 days transplanting over 100 baby Cosmos into every 4" pot I could fill with potting soil! Thankfully my new potting soils arrived by the time I was ready to repot the last of the Cosmos! Yay, what a relief to have enough potting soil to be able to get that done! Since I had needed to remove over 2" of soil off the top of the pot my fig tree lives in, exposing a lot of its upper roots, and since I had received my new potting soils, I was able to create the nice soil mixture I use to keep my potted plants happy and refill the missing 2" in the pot over my fig tree's roots. A nice watering and finally I was done with repotting all those Cosmos which I had seeded into the wrong pot! Or so I had thought. But, almost a week later I noticed new seed sprouts under my fig tree again. After a week i had another 60+ Cosmos, all 3" to 5" tall, to repot! Not all those Cosmos were thrilled by my pot selections and how young they were when I repotted them. Despite that, I now have almost 100 Cosmos that I need to move into a permanent location! Good thing I only put a light sprinkling of seeds into my fig pot! I thought that I had sprinkled maybe 30 or 40 seeds. However, there were so many complaints of people not getting any plants to sprout that I only expected to get maybe 1/2 to 1 dozen flowers sprouting and surviving past their 4" life stage... So, for all of the people who said that their Cosmos seeds didn't sprout, I can't imagine what you did to your seeds. Are you certain you actually planted seeds from your Cosmos packet, instead of forgetting to actually add any seeds? If you still can't get your pack of seeds to sprout, bring them over! I mean, I have a black thumb, as far as growing plants in pots, but these Cosmos seeds didn't care if my thumb was black or green, they were gonna grow no matter what I did!

They grew small

Wonderful selection of seeds. I buy these seeds every year and they yield beautiful flowers. What I wasn't expecting, though, were wild flowering plants that were over six feet in height! I mean...what's not to love:)
