Nice pic! Amazing how they come up in my yard all year round, white, rose & fuschia.

I was just a tad surprised about how tall these were. (Duh!) I should have planted them BEHIND the dianthus, lololol.....

Lovely flowers. Even up here, mine grew over 6 ft tall this year - in a container!!! In the spring I had been lamenting that my (4 ft high) cedar hedge was too high for anyone to see the cosmos when they went by and thought I might move the container ... the cosmos sure fixed that!! In fact none of them even bloomed until they were over 4 feet tall.

Over six feet? Oh no!! Good job, though! LOL!! I have to make sure to keep an eye on those in the spring and transplant (hopefully) any babies to more more reasonable location!!

Definitely NOT a container next year - and IN FRONT of the cedar hedge (I hate it so much) ... LOL.
