    I did cold stratisfy these, but nothing came up. I suspect it may have been too late in the year. Or I didn’t keep them cold long enough. Not sure. I love cosmos. They’re one of my favorites. I may try sowing some this fall, or early winter and hope that works.

    I tried cold stratifying this past May, but these never germinated. Is there a chance that they may pop up next Spring? They are tiny seeds.
