My cosmos, any ideas? - August 23rd, 2004 at 04:48 AM
Okay, so I'm eating cake....a while ago someone was asking why there cosmos hadn't started to flower.....and I of course said, don't worry they will, they may not all bloom at the same time, etc, etc.....Told her mine weren't blooming yet either--this was weeks ago....
Well.....my cosmos are almost as tall as me now...and I'm 5'10"....I'd say they are about 5 feet tall......healthy looking, bushy plants....really thick stems on them....nice to look at, but not one bud or anything....the ones I planted in moms yard are the same way...I'm stumped.....I grew them from Burpee seeds, not just some really cheap unknown brand......
The growing season is almost over really and last year mine were blooming way before now from seed, all throughout the summer.....this is the weirdest thing this year......
Any ideas why they haven't produced buds, yet are healthy looking? Maybe that I used miracle grow on them several times when they were around a foot tall? I think I read somewhere that when you do that it will stop them from producing so many buds....... Anyone else ever have this problem?
