    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Pastel Mix

    These cosmos were easy to grow, they came up and blossomed quick, and have beautiful blooms! They are all pinks or pinky/purply which I’m okay with. The baby pink is beautiful.

    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Pastel Mix

    This was my first year going cosmos and was not disappointed. The main stem was thicker than a quarter, litetally has to use a small saw to cut it down for the year. I had a small variety of purple toned flowers. Super beginner friendly. Harvested some seeds & was able to grow the flowers again this year from the seeds i harvested!

    I'm not sure if I planted too early, but none of my seeds germinated. :(

    Growing very well in my Arizona backyard despite the bipolar spring weather and poor soil quality. Great germination rate, however there are more deep purple blooms than I expected. The mix is beautiful but not quite pastel.

    The only color that bloomed on nearly a dozen plants was a dark purple.
