Candystripe Cosmos

I started these inside under grow lights and they started easily, transplanted easily, started blossoming early, continued to blossom until October when I decided to clean them out. There were even baby plants that came up as volunteers in late summer! So I'm thinking you get a plot of them started one year and if you're a lazy gardener, or even a somewhat lazy gardener and leave some seeds on the grounds in the fall, you might have lots of volunteers in the spring and not have to plant again!

These cosmos are absolutely thriving this year! They outperformed most everything I planted and only needed minimal support to bounce back after heavy storms. They look just like the picture. I will be planting these every year.
