I sowed my cosmos (sulphur and sensations) late last year - end of May (should've done it mid-April), then we got a nasty drought for weeks, but the seeds came up and did pretty good. My poppies didn't do squat but I should've put them out in fall or early spring. Then either the deer or rabbits kept my sunflowers chewed almost to the ground. They didn't bother the Mexican sunflowers (tithonia) though. Time for some bird netting, I guess. Oh well, another year to try it again.
