    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Cupcake Blush

    These were SO LOVELY. Great germination rate. It’s beautiful because each plant flowers a bit differently but all so gorgeous. Some perfect cupcake shape, some with a little double bloom action in the middle. A couple of the pink ones tended to grow a little… blotchy? But the really good ones were showstoppers. Also- prolific (as cosmos should be) VERY long lasting and easy to cut single flowers with good stems for bouquets. Some of my double-click varieties were not as giving in those areas :) totally worth it.

    Very large beautiful blooms!! These cosmos grew tall and strong, compared to the apricotta and apricot lemonade varieties, which still grew, but smaller with less blooms. (photo is including the three varieties I purchased, with these cosmos being the biggest)

    These turned out super cute! I love the big cupcake liner pale pink blooms, there are other light pink blooms mixed in as well. Some darker than expected but still beautiful!

    Love these cosmos! At the end of the season, October, (zone7) got some yellow blooms in addition to the light pink and white! Also some double blooms. Great in arrangements and dry well too!

    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Cupcake Blush

    The color of the blooms is more light purple than white as in the description. I did have 2 plants grow. One with a daisy looking center with a cupcake liner outside, the other just the cupcake liner bloom. Good cut flower. Zone 4a, grown in a container garden. Transplanted twice and handled it well both times.

    Beautiful cosmos of course but they are not the color variety I ordered. It looks like some might be right and some are not sadly.

    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Cupcake Blush

    I ordered these, as well as the Daydream variety. All of the cosmos I planted are the same pink cosmo. I think my pack was mislabeled, like a recent review. I have no white cosmos and no variety in texture. Very disappointing. The flowers are beautiful, but not what I ordered or wanted. I included a photo to show that all of them are the same, even though two separate varieties were planted.

    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Cupcake Blush

    I purchased the Cupcake Blush seeds to go with the color theme of my garden - light colors, white, dainty, and pretty. Sadly, all that bloomed from the Cupcake Blush mix were these magenta Dazzlers and Pinkies. Clearly there was an error when the seeds were packaged. So disappointing considering how much effort it took to keep the slugs away from the seedlings. The ONLY reason I'm not ripping them out is because the Gold Finch have been feasting on them.

    I germinated 12 seeds, and 10 of the 12 appear to be Purity cosmos, which are distinctly different in shape. I wonder if this seed batch was contaminated during processing? Disappointing for sure!

    while these are pretty, the flowers coming up are not cupcake shaped and they are a dark pink/purple color. not at all like what is pictured and they are not what i was hoping for!

    So lovely! I really love these, they really took off as it got cooler toward the end of summer

    I planted these seeds directly into my flower bed April 1st in zone 7 and started getting blooms beginning of July! They are beautiful and look just like the photos- a nice mix of white and pinks.

    Cosmos Seeds - Cupcake Blush

    I sowed my seeds may 6 2023, and it's now August 16 2023. They barely bloomed about a week ago, and they are beautiful! The started with one to 5 buds on one plant, not too tall, maybe 3 feet, now they are about 4 Ina half feet tall with LOTS of buds and starting to flower like crazy! I was a bit frustrated at the time before the blooms bc I thought the seeds may never bud and give flowers. Totally worth the wait and the colors on them are a purple/pinky/white color.
