    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Polidor Mix

    Took a couple of months for first blooms but 100% worth the wait. Blooms come in orange, hot orange and yellow. Goes beautiful along the borders of my house!

    Cosmos Seeds - Polidor Mix

    These are dwarf plants that only grew to be about 2' tall. The product description photo advertised them as mostly orange/sulfur colored but this mix is about 90% yellow and 10% orange.

    They seemed to be dwarf plants. Not as tall as I expected.

    We scratched the earth to put the seeds in contact with the ground. I can’t wait for them to come up and start blooming. I know that our mixture of colors will be beautiful!
