Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Sea Shells'

Finally the #cosmos are beginning to flower!!! #pink #cosmos-seashells #grownfromseed #annual #jacarandacuttinggarden #mygardentoday 💚💕💚

I have some flowering well and 3 clumps of just foliage. Im debating whether to pull those out or wait longer.

Some of mine are all foliage too, but I’m hoping they might produce a flower or two soon 🤞 @DeborahBanks

Love cosmos. Very pretty Barbara. I love the foliage too. Hang on in there @DeborahBanks 😊

Well said, Angela! @italydiva I checked mine this afternoon, Deborah, and I spied one or two tiny buds hiding in the foliage so don’t give up on yours yet! @DeborahBanks 😘😘

Thanks @italydiva @jacaranda I will persevere with them.

What is wrong with my #cosmos plants this year? My seed sowing was successful and I’ve ended up with lots of healthy plants dotted around the garden, but only one flower so far! The plants look healthy with lots of lush green foliage, but no flower buds. Where have I gone wrong? Or am I too impatient? 🤔😢 #cosmos-advice #wherearetheflowers #stillwaiting #mygardentoday 💚

Me too. Still waiting 🧐

Some varieties are later flowering and don't over water them they don't like it it produces more foliage than flowers 😕💓👍

That’s interesting, Keely. The ones that aren’t yet flowering have had far more water than this one, so I’ll follow your advice and see what happens. Thank you 😘😘 @Keely

I learnt it from someone on here last year so I've done same this year and avoided watering n just let nature take its cause have to say loads of buds forming not quite in bloom yet though 😄

@keeley l like the advice about the cosmos given to jacaranda, mine as a lot of foliage now l no why🙄🙄🙄

You can always rely on one of the lovely GTaggers to give you great advice @gwenniemom Our cosmos are going to be fabulous now thanks to @Keely 😘😘

@jacaranda to true. Hope your well. And let's hope your lovely garden will have its visitors soon. 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you. We might do an opening in September but it will depend on how things go over the next few weeks. In the meantime I’ll just carry on gardening 😂😂😘 @gwenniemom

@jacaranda. 👍👍🌞🌞

I love these as they’re so unusual! #cosmos #cosmosseashells #augustblooms #pinkflowers

Love these ones😍

Lovely flowers 😘 😘 💝💝

Definitely will try these for next year 💖

That is a lovely one 👍🌿

I grew lots of Cosmos from seed this year but none of them have done very well. This is the best of the bunch today!!! #cosmos #cosmosseashells #pinkflowers #grownfromseed #mygardentoday 25/07/2018

Mine are still only about 7" high 😔 It's been a very bad year for my seed sowing, yet the ones I scattered around the garden later in the season than I ought to, have done ok.

Love this! 😍

Wow! This is beautiful.
