Texas Gardening: growing cosmos, 0 by skbryan

I have the larger Cosmos sulphureus (bright orange), and I love them. They are prolific non-stop bloomers and reseed easily. The last from early spring until frost here in Houston. I also grew some of the other colors from seed this year, and they are definately more fragile and are unhappy in less than perfect conditions (where the Cosmos sulphureus grows just about anywhere that is not too wet or shady). The foliage is lacy and thin, and the flowers are not as large, but the other colors, white, purple, etc. are very pretty.
