    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 3.3 / 5 from 4 reviews.

    I've bought these seeds twice, so the fact that I made a repeat purchase should tell you something. The flowers are beautiful and attract legions of bumble bees--that's a great thing as I am big on expanding my pollinator garden. And they continue blooming until sometime in October. The downside? I must agree with others as these are neither dwarf (mine typically average about 4 feet in height and about 2 feet wide); and they begin blooming about the second half of July. Additionally, they grow more like a Cosmos "bush". I was disappointed the first year, but have grown to love the plant almost as much as my winged friends.

    These were neither early nor dwarf. Started indoors in March, first blooms were in July, on 3 foot tall plants. Very disappointed.

    I had great germination on these and lots of blooms, but they were not dwarf at all. Almost all the plants save for a couple were 4 feet tall. The bees loved them, though, which is why I got them.

    Germination was good. The flowers are actually light pink, not magenta and they do not have the dark center. Description says they grow to 12 to 24 inches in height but they ended up being taller than that. I have a few that are 4 feet. I do not think it’s a true dwarf like the Xsenia cosmos I have which grew to only 24 inches and have 2 inch flowers. These flowers are twice as big which is a plus. The stems are strong and straight and most do not need staking. The foliage is full and attractive. Well, I’m not unhappy with the results. Next spring I’ll grow these again next to blue bachelor buttons.
