    Customer photo review of Sulphur Cosmos Seeds - Crest Red

    They are absolutely gorgeous in our meadow, and the 7 foot high part was perfect to tower over the sea of weeds that we have not yet conquered

    Susanl 5/5

    Sulphur Cosmos Seeds - Crest Red

    They grew abundantly and beautifully but they are definitely straight up orange, not at all red, which I don’t love especially in the bed I chose to put them in with burgundy, pinks and yellows. Tried to add a photo but wouldn’t let me, must be bad internet connection
