They seem to need at least a half day of sun. We have others that receive little sun and their growth is stunted with no blooms. What part of the country do you inhabit?
My cosmos plants look just like yours! I planted a few seeds years ago and they return voluntarily year after year. The flowers are pretty and the foliage is a nice lacy touch to a garden. These plants are tough cookies! When we dismantled the bed the flowers were growing in, the seeds clung on in the soil and reappeared where the soil was deposited and now we have even more flowers than we ever had before. I even have some growing next to cactus plants...such a rather odd combo! I see these flowers growing everywhere in my little town in the Ojai Valley.
Thats great. We have too much rain here, so most seeds wash away, or rot. Several plants have come up far from where they started.
They are a really good plant.
Yeah, we don't get rain very often. Right now, we are experiencing another drought...and there is a fire burning in the hill country -- the 'Zaca' fire. Several years ago, we had too much winter rain and were flooded...part of our yard went down into a barranca. Our barranca is full of palm trees now from seeds that washed downhill. Always something interesting just pops up!
